The World's First “Forest In The Sky”

A concept illustration of the world's first forest in the sky, the Bosco Verticale green twin towers currently under construction in Milan, Italy. Towering over the city skyline the world's first forest in the sky will be a sight to behold. With tree 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 cover plants. Basking in the north Italian sun, the vertical woodlands called the Bosco Verticale are located in the city of Milan. The structure will be able to house the same amount of residents as 50,000 of conventional urban sprawl but will not only house human residents and workers but the birds and animals that typically live in the parks of the city. The towers, which are still under construction, are the brainchild of world renowned Milan architect, 55 year-old Stefano Boeri. (Photo by Boeri Studio)
