Stefano<\/span>\u00a0Boeri<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has revealed plans for his latest\u00a0vertical<\/span>\u00a0forest<\/span>, which will be built in the town of Villiers sur Marne in the eastern quadrant of the Parisian metropolitan area. Named\u00a0For\u00eat Blanche<\/strong><\/a>, the project forms part of a new\u00a0urban<\/span>\u00a0development called ‘Balcon sur Paris’, where architects such as Kengo Kuma and X-TU Architects are also planning buildings. The fa\u00e7ades will be covered by 2,000 trees, shrubs, and plants.
\nFollowing<\/span>\u00a0similar plans planned for the Netherlands and China , Stefano<\/span>\u00a0Boeri<\/span>‘s\u00a0For\u00eat Blanche<\/strong> is a 54-meter high tower built entirely from wood. The fa\u00e7ades will be covered by 2,000 trees, shrubs, and plants – a green surface equivalent to a hectare of\u00a0forest<\/span>. The tower will host residential apartments on the upper storeys and office and commercial space on the lower levels. The design team incorporated numerous terraces and balconies throughout the design, creating pleasant green spaces for tenants. The east and west facing sides of the building will allow sunlight to enter the building, providing natural illumination and ventilation to the apartments. The building also provides panoramic views of central Paris. In addition to\u00a0For\u00eat Blanche<\/strong>, Stefano<\/span>\u00a0Boeri<\/span>\u00a0Architetti<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has designed the neighboring La Cour Verte<\/strong> project. the building is characterized by a courtyard, a sloping roof, and a hanging garden with a 600 square meters of planted grasses.<\/p>\n
