I heard that Nanjing will build a 200-meter-high "three-dimensional forest"

Human beings have always jokingly called cities "concrete forests", so the buildings are "towering trees". However, everyone knows that low vegetation coverage and insufficient fresh air are common problems in big cities. The reason is simple - the trees have been cut down and houses have been built.

However, now that technology is so advanced, isn’t it possible to “have both trees and houses”? There is an architect who is working on this, and the building he designed looks like this - stefano boeri architects

It really looks like "a little green among all the gray"!

This building was designed by Stefano Boeri, a well-known Italian architectural design master and the "father of the vertical forest". It is said that it will be built in Nanjing and will be completed in 2018.

It is said that

Vertical Forest (Building A of Mingfa Fortune Center Project) is located at the intersection of Pukou Avenue and Pubin Road in Jiangbei New District, Nanjing City, with a total construction area of ??533,282.5 square meters. It consists of twin towers with floor heights of 200 meters and 100 meters. Among them, the former is an office building and the podium on floors 1-4 is a business center; the latter is a five-star hotel. The entire project is expected to be completed in 2019 and is currently invested, constructed and managed by Nanjing Yangzi State-owned Assets Investment Group.

……

This project will select suitable plant species among the existing plant species in Nanjing through investigation and research on Nanjing’s local climate, landscape, vegetation, site conditions and other aspects. Varieties of growing environment at an altitude of 200 meters are planted along the facade from the podium roof to the large roof and building balconies, including trees, shrubs, ground cover plants, etc., to present vertical greening on the exterior surface of the building.

After the house is built and we zoom in, the effect is like this↓↓ stefano boeri architects

Mr. Tadpole wants to say, is this green plant... a little too dense? The sun is completely blocked. I can finally understand the darkness of night during the day.

_(：зゝ∠)_

Architect Stefano Boeri hopes that the "vertical forest" can become a model for future green urban architecture, inspiring ideas about the urban environment and architecture. Rethinking structure. Especially in an environment where haze is severe and forest area is drastically reduced, such thinking is even more important.

In order to realize his dream, he also gave special consideration to safety issues. The building adopts a safe, reliable and technically mature beam-type balcony, which can withstand the weight of a 9.0-meter-high large tree.

Please imagine this scene: There are two trees on my balcony, one is a jujube tree, and the other is a jujube tree.

But our netizens don’t care about these. They consider more practical issues↓↓

It’s so down-to-earth...

It’s so lively. , now there is the most serious problem - I don’t know whether this news is true or not... Although there are some reports abroad, most of them are about the design drawings. Domestic media reports are all weird media that are not popular. After searching on Baidu, the most reliable one is that The Paper seems to have reported it in January this year↓↓

However, after searching, I found that it was not there. It may have been deleted...

Judging from various signs, this project may have died, and we don’t know the reason. It may also be that the policy does not allow it, the capital chain is broken, or it is still in early planning. But Mr. Tadpole believes that this is absolutely impossible for the designer to use the design draft to defraud, because Boeri has designed a similar vertical forest and has successfully built it in Milan↓↓ stefano boeri architects stefano boeri architects

Hmm... The density of green plants is acceptable. From the design drawings of the vertical forest planned to be built in Nanjing, my country, the hair seems to be five times thicker...

However, it may be because Our environment is much worse than Milan, Boeri should be anxious...
