We have reached a point in our human evolution where science, math, and creative genius have discovered a way to suspend a living forest in mid air. The answer to city pollution is now Stefano Boeri’s Bosco Verticale, the world’s first 27-story microclimate apartment towers currently under construction in Milan, Italy. Built to function as city air purifiers, these lush apartments will include over 900 trees, 5,000 bushes, and 11,000 plants throughout the tower balconies. Each perch of life will aid in reducing city noise, moderating atmospheric temperatures, absorbing CO2 emissions, and acting as an energy sustainer for seasonal weather shifts. </span></p> <p><span>Read more: </span><a href="http://genyhub.com/page/the-vertical-forest#ixzz2Qg4ONZSa"><a href="http://genyhub.com/page/the-vertical-forest#ixzz2Qg4ONZSa">http://genyhub.com/page/the-vertical-forest#ixzz2Qg4ONZSa</a></a></p> </blockquote> <p>This would be nice</p>http://urbangreens.tumblr.com/post/51155023095http://urbangreens.tumblr.com/post/51155023095Thu, 23 May 2013 09:30:17 -0700skyscrapergreen roofsdavereed<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3948412a23f69935b2a5f0527f6c827c/tumblr_mmhtu8Hpyj1qzt7kko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Office building in Japan has aluminum paneled facade with plants growing through</p> <p>via <a href="http://www.dezeen.com/2012/06/18/green-cast-by-kengo-kuma-associates/">Green Cast by Kengo Kuma and Associates - Dezeen</a></p>http://urbangreens.tumblr.com/post/51076711819http://urbangreens.tumblr.com/post/51076711819Wed, 22 May 2013 09:30:06 -0700plants on facadeJapandavereed<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz7dgzqhgH1qzt7kko1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz7dgzqhgH1qzt7kko3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://2012architecten.nl/" target="_blank">2012 Architecten</a>‘s temporary facade at the <a href="http://2012architecten.nl/2011/02/stadskantoor-rotterdam/" target="_blank">Stadskantoor</a>, Rotterdam’s central administrative office.
