Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) is a pair of residential towers in the Porta Nuova district of Milan, Italy, between Via Gaetano de Castillia and Via Federico Confalonieri near Milano Porta Garibaldi railway station. They have a height of and and will host more than 900 trees (approximately 550 and 350 trees in the first and second towers respectively) on of terraces. Within the complex is also an 11-story office building; its facade does not host plants.〔Peri: December 2011〕 The towers were designed by Stefano Boeri,〔Sclaunich: 2012〕 Gianandrea Barreca and Giovanni La Varra. It also involved input from horticulturalists and botanists.〔Woodward: October 2011〕 The building was inaugurated in October 2014.〔http://video.ilsole24ore.com/TMNews/2014/20141018_video_17055827/00025608-inaugurato-a-milano-il-bosco-verticale-due-torri-e-21mila-piante.php〕 ==Concept== The project was designed as part of the rehabilitation of the historic district of Milan between Via De Castillia and Confalonieri. It consists of two residential towers of which the largest is 26 floors and 110 meters high (called Torre E) and the smaller tower is 18 floors and 76 meters high〔stefanoboeri〕 (called Torre D). It contains 400 condominium units〔Stella: June June 2009〕 priced from 3,000 - 12,000 Euro per square metre〔Stella: June 2009〕 It is called Bosco Verticale because each tower houses trees between three and six meters which help mitigate smog and produce oxygen. It is also used to moderate temperatures in the building in the winter and summer.〔Rozza: October 2012〕 The plants also attenuate noise.〔DNews: 2011〕 The design was tested in a wind tunnel to ensure the trees would not topple from gusts of wind.〔Stella: June 2009〕 Botanists and horticulturalists were consulted by the engineering team to ensure that the structure could bear the load imposed by the plants.〔Woodward: October 2011〕〔Stella: June 2009〕 The steel-reinforced concrete balconies are designed to be 28 cm thick, with 1.30 metre parapets.〔Peri: December 2011〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bosco Verticale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
