The towers, called the Bosco Verticale, are under construction in the city of Milan .
意大利米兰正在兴建两座被称为“垂直森林”的高楼。
Towering over the city skyline, these are the world's first forest in the sky apartments.
这两座耸立在该城市地平线上的高楼是世界上首例空中森林公寓。
With trees equal to one hectare of forest spanning 27 floors, these 365 and 260-foot emerald, twin towers will be home to an astonishing 730 trees, 5,000 shrubs and 11,000 ground plants.
Michele Brunello, 35,director of Boeri Studios, explained “The idea for a vertical forest came when we were involved in a local tree planting project.”
“We imaged a building that allowed the landscape to enter it. By creating a tower that truly becomes a home for the landscape we have a powerful tool.”
Brunello's concept is designed to save on land, which, he said, is a precious resource in the centre of a major city.
布鲁内洛的设计理念是在资源宝贵的大城市中心做到有效的节省土地。
“We can provide the quality of life of expensive housing without consuming the resources that conventional housing would demand. On top of this we have a building that is a world symbol for sustainable living.”
Bosco Verticale has been designed as a home to a variety of plant life, which planners hope will act as a filter to pollution from traffic, shade people from the Mediterranean sun and will change its appearance each season.
Apartments range in price from £560,000 for a low level 80 square meter apartment to £1.7 million for a 200 square meter penthouse with commanding views of the city.
Fow now, i think it's pretty safety. I'm worried about the root of the tree that will destroy the structure of the building.作者: blueskywhy 时间: 2011-10-31 15:06
