Extended description
Stefano Boeri Architetti is an Italian practice known for biophilic architecture and urban reforestation, integrating thousands of trees and shrubs into buildings. Its landmark Bosco Verticale ('Vertical Forest') in Milan shows how dense planting on façades can absorb CO2, filter air, support biodiversity and lower local temperatures. The model has been adapted in other dense cities, showing how greenery can become a structural part of urban buildings.
