The Argentine newspaper La Nacion has published an article by Flavia Tomaello dedicated to Milan’s Bosco Verticale, designed by Boeri Studio, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of its construction.
The article includes an interview with Stefano Boeri, in which he presents not only the project itself but also the book BOSCO VERTICALE, Morphology of a Vertical Forest, curated by Stefano Boeri Architetti. This comprehensive monograph, published by Rizzoli, retraces the history of the project through an editorial structure that evokes the growth of a tree, from its roots to its trunk and branches. The roots represent the intuition behind an innovative idea, inspired by creative and artistic influences. The trunk embodies the project’s genesis, the structural, technological, and environmental challenges it faced, the construction process, and its impact on the transformation of the area and the urban landscape. The branches symbolize the life of the Bosco Verticale—on one hand, its place in the international architectural landscape, marking a shift toward the integration of living nature in urban environments; on the other, its autonomous journey as a symbol and catalyst for biodiversity, both in real life and in the collective imagination.
The article concludes with reflections on the challenges facing the cities of the future, from sustainability to AI, climate change, and social inequalities.
