Trudo Vertical Forest, the first model of Vertical Forest in social housing, and part of the redevelopment process of Strijp-S in Eindhoven, is the backdrop for Dutch Design Week 2024.
As part of the plan for ‘Strijp-S’ – a recovery and development plan involving the area formerly belonging to the Philips electronics company, a crucial identity presence in the area, once completely closed to the city but now becoming a new creative hub in Eindhoven –, Trudo Vertical Forest generates within the metropolitan environment a new green habitat for the development of biodiversity, a true ecosystem nurtured by the coexistence of more than 70 different plant species, capable of combating atmospheric pollution, absorbing CO2 and particulate matter, developing the model first experimented in Milan and now in the Netherlands into an expression of a new design paradigm, in which vegetation and living nature are considered constituent – and no longer merely ornamental – elements of architectural language.
The residential tower of the Trudo Vertical Forest houses on its four façades, developed over an altitude of 75 metres, as many as 135 trees of various species, to which are added about 5,200 smaller shrubs and plants and other vegetation, for a total of about 8,500 plants.
