With limited space, vertical forests are becoming more and more popular. And Italian architecture Stefano Boeri is leading the way.
Boeri has designed numerous buildings with heavy emphasis on incorporating greenery into the architecture. His buildings have incorporated real trees on multiple floor levels, creating both aesthetically pleasing, environmental sights for anyone who sees it in the distance.
Some of his projects include the dual towers called "Bosco Verticale" located in Milan, two apartment towers with trees standing proudly on ledges decorating the exterior walls. Other variations featuring vertical forests have been designed and built in Tokyo, Paris, Sydney, Melbourne, and Singapore.
