Bosco Verticale

How lucky we are that we still have some Bosco horizontale in this part of the world but when the necessity is there, amazing things happen!

'The Bosco Verticale (Milan) is a system that optimizes, recuperates, and produces energy. Covered in plant life, the building aids in balancing the microclimate and in filtering the dust particles contained in the urban environment (Milan is one of the most polluted cities in Europe)'.
