Stefano Boeri partecipa a una puntata di The Grand Tourist, Il principale podcast su arte, design e architettura del giornalista Dan Rubinstein, intitolata Stefano Boeri: Nature’s Favorite Architect.
Dalla sinossi dell’episodio: Alcuni designer spingono i confini, ma il principale pensatore del design italiano è noto per superarli. In occasione del decimo anniversario del Bosco Verticale di Milano, Boeri parla con Dan delle sue idee un tempo rivoluzionarie, del suo prossimo grande progetto in Nepal e di molto altro.
“Well, I think immediately after 2014, the opening of the Bosco Verticale, we had been asked not to replicate, but to design other, let’s say green high-rise buildings in other parts of the world. And every time we had to start, not with our, let’s say, stylistic obsession, but we start considering the climate condition of every space, of every place.
And then after observing the climate condition, we start to select the plants, the species that are more adaptable to this specific climate condition. And only at that moment, we start to act as designer, because the life trajectory of every species is, let’s say for us, extremely important when we design the facade, when we design the relation between the balcony and the loggia or between two balconies.
So we have to give to every tree, to every shrubs, to every bush, to every plants, the space for its growth. And this is a completely different way to design a building. So if you want, we are considering trees as tenants. We are really considering their requests, their expectations, their trajectory growth” dichiara Stefano Boeri.
