Bosco Verticale in Milan
Just came across this project, and it immediately made me think about last night's question regarding design of the built environment for all the senses. Imagine a vertical forest and what it would afford: something lovely to look at (especially at the changing of the seasons), something to smell, something to hear (various wildlife that will move in, rustling of the branches in the wind), something to touch, something to even taste if you really want to go there. Technically challenging, I imagine, but lovely!

Totally agree...it is a beauty. Do such things have to be perfect in every sense...is beauty as good a reason as any?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael!
This is a great image. I wonder if one day all buildings will be like this, creating their own ecosystems and a city can become a forest of buildings.
