I think it's expensive because it's a high quality apartement not because of the trees if you were to plant trees is a more average apartement it wouldn't cost that more (I think)
All the sales renders like to fill their projects with lush vegetation. Always saw it as a chep gimmick. Nice to see a real project of this scale. Good job.
Apartment buildings that are actually pleasant to look at~! I hope these have a positive impact on air quality so they catch on in other cities as well! :)
The idea is good, but we need to consider the possibility of that plants and birds and insects living in them can cause damage and degradation to the building... And we should pay attention to prevent the plants from breaking the entrance of light through windows.
Neat idea but maintenance costs much be huge, once the maintenance can be largely automated, especially if they can do modular robust hydroponics, this might work at large scales
Ryukachoo exactly. Will almost be a full time job to maintain them and also very dangerous. Also health and safetyy with branches falling off the building onto people below. Ivy on buildings can cause major wrath tightness problems
Ryukachoo not necessarily. "Maintainance" mostly means controling their size every week or every other week or so. Doesnt look like there are any large branches that can just fall off and do any type of damage. And clean up doesnt look all that conplicated.
Aah, people... can’t you think in a broader way? Such buildings reduce air pollution. It was reported in the video that there’re dozens of thousands of people in Italy that die from deceases related to the pollution; we can conjecture that there’re many thousands more that don’t die but still suffer from the same problem. When a person has health issues, they go to a hospital. Typically, a government is responsible for providing high-quality medical services; this means that it has to spend a lot of money on getting these people healthy again. So the point is: huge amounts are already being spent because of air pollution, so why don’t we build houses that help us solve the issue with pollution and also are gorgeous to look and live at? After all, everything we have to care about is people, not money.
I would rather see less rainforests being cut down. Although there are merits in this type of thing, it is largely tokenism. Guessing teh trees will also need replacing every so often as they get too big and heavy. Trimming branches can only do so much, unless they bonsai them. Wouldn't work very well in high wind areas either, I suspect as they would need tying to the building structure to prevent them being ripped out..
amazing view. But 2 questions: 1) problem of permanent cleaning of the contaminated facade (birds on trees will crawl, polluting the walls) 2) passers-by safety below (suddenly the tree dries and falls down)...
Bigger in-city parks with lots of trees works quite well. No danger of a tree falling on you from 40 stories up,.Birds and bugs don't really bother us in well treed parks. What happens down the road when we learn that CO2 is not our enemy at all, and the SUN is the cause of climate change?
and then when the video do become available, ppl realised they can't afford to live in places like that, so they hate things that they can';t have.......
It sounds a wonderful idea, but the cons are: shadow, and light. Those trees will make more shadow in your apartment. It is OK for those who wants shadow, but there are people who wants to see the sun :D
Neat Idea. My solution to the Global warming problem is to have Gene Modified Plant that grows faster and absorbs more CO2 and requires less water and limits its growth in terms of space, bears no fruit. That way we can plant them even in small apartments and same tech used for new forestation for Big Trees. Fruits bearing from such trees and there health complications will have to be tested though.
In the past I went to Stockholm, Bern, Vienna, Madrid, Munich and those are very beautiful cities with alot of history BUT, I´m an original country boy from a small village who grew up near a lake surrounded by woods,... I could never live in a city, doesn´t matter how nice it is,.. they´re too noise because of the traffic, the air is too dirty,... 3 weeks in vienna was enough, then I moved back to the countryside, screw the better paid job in the city, the health of my lungs is worth much more and my dog thinks the same I guess.
It's like a couple of 2 small building with plants. I've been there many times and from november to March all the green is dead. Is just a fancy place for rich people
Isn't fine dust by far the biggest problem regarding air polution in cities? (not O² or CO² levels). How much fine dust does a plant actually filter out? Would that even be close to significant?
Very beautiful, there's a condo complex with the same idea in Scottsdale AZ, unfortunately due to the cost of maintenance, only the rich can afford the fees associated with living there
Maintaining these plants would require huge investments, not something politicians and businessmen would like. There could be some provisions made for more facilitated maintenance.
Start to resolving the problem from the roots. Polluting won't stop until we choose to use 0 emission means of transportation and producing renewable energy
We should grow plants all over our city’s roofs and walls, wild flowers on lower levels imagine all the wild life that would benefit all the clean air and cool air it would bring we could turn our city’s into rain forest, they’d be the healthiest places to live!
*builds vertical forest in Australia* *person walks out on to their deck* Person: What a nice day! *10 magpies come out of nowhere and attack* This is what would happen if a Vertical Forest was built in Australia
I live in a 3rd world country and there's 1 flat building like this here, it's almost fully covered with plants and it's been like that for a long time. If a country like mine can do this, a 1rst world country can do it better, so yeah it's not impossible.
this is not how to face off the co2 problem, its only an idea its like ispirational its like an enormous building that says to all " there is a problem"
We’re so sorry the video wasn't available to everyone right away, issue is now resolved!
The Verge what was the issue?
Probably copyrighted audio on TH-cam's end.
man imagine a whole city full of these! what an amazing sight to the eye, and practical CO2 solving
Imagine better. I would prefer to have greenhouse-balcony and grow food instead of trees, so they should make buildings like that as well.
this needs to be a thing everywhere, it's gorgeous to look at & it cleans the air, how could you argue against it?
why so hate to these amazing initiative project?
what if one catches on fire... must be a serious problem
Curtis Tilbo not really, our houses in Italy are not made of wood.
Could be said for anything that catches fire.
who the hell cares if the trees catch on fire lol. At least you're not getting hurt
Yash Davare Exactly. It is beautiful
Imagine if in the whole city, every apartment building and skyscraper look like this.
@Katka Tran yeah.. You could think it will be like those abandoned city that over run by the plants but you know.. Liveable.
Hector G. Gardener drones will do that work
Would be incredible. But maintenance would be a b*tch - nonetheless, totally something we should be doing.
Extremely expensive
& think about the birds you might also get to see because of the greenery
Please don't hate on a good video just cause they had a slight technicality.
We're happy you enjoyed the video despite the early technical error.
The Verge of course it was really interesting as all verge videos are!
The most informative video about this project I've seen o TH-cam :)
i hope these places will be affordable to the middle class people and not chinese billionaires...
UnnTHPS At the moment they are houses for billionaires but if they clean the air it's better for everyone
Not for billionaires, but for upper middle class families.
Very expensive
In the future maybe.
one apartment is around 3/4 millions euros
I wouldn't mind living in one of these, I love nature and I would sit on the balcony playing video games all day long behind the giant bushes 😎
But then again this looks really expensive to maintain, and the branches could fall down and kill someone
They look gorgeous.
I live in Milan 🇮🇹
Nonna paperino vaffanculo!
@@GaleGummola calmino
E sticazzi
Civil Engineering and Architecture are THE MOST potent weapons against pollution. This effort shown here is monumental !! Bravo team !!
Please make Home of the Future a series longer than four parts, make it like Next Level
Porta Nuova is so cool.
It makes me burst with pride every time I pass through it
love this. More cities need to design buildings like these
Great idea! The apartments are not cheap, but hey it's a skyscraper in Milan. What do you expect? :D
I think it's expensive because it's a high quality apartement not because of the trees if you were to plant trees is a more average apartement it wouldn't cost that more (I think)
These buildings are gorgeous. I would definitely live in there. :D
3 million 1 apartment

Maintenance is paid by the rich people living inside of it haha
We need more of these.

1) problem of permanent cleaning of the contaminated facade (birds on trees will crawl, polluting the walls)

Not only beautiful but also useful.
Why not?
amazing
really the most wonderful thing I have seen so far. .great ❤love from India.
Why so much dislikes?
Raphael13479 cause the video wasn't available to start
yeah I was going to say the same thing lol
and then when the video do become available, ppl realised they can't afford to live in places like that, so they hate things that they can';t have.......
Only 192 dislikes i think that's okay 🙃
People rosica
Very good way to minimise pollution and save environment
Inspiring, these need to be everywhere!
This is an amazing project ! It's really an efficient way to introduce nature in our cities.
I liked this video before watching it because this is what the world needs ❤️✌🏿💚
this is really amazing
What about the roots
How Milan is the most polluted city in Europe if in Italy the most polluted is Turin?
Looks great let’s have more of this. Eco building’s the future. Hope for this in London 😍
Yes amazing. The world needs more of this.
The world need that
Thumbs up if you are from Milano and know Bosco Verticale !
This is really cool. That being said I have the sneaking suspicion one of them got this idea after seeing their kids playing on minecraft...
What happens in case of a massive fire ? New trees ?
It sounds a wonderful idea, but the cons are: shadow, and light. Those trees will make more shadow in your apartment. It is OK for those who wants shadow, but there are people who wants to see the sun :D
Great concept..!
Looks beautiful!
beautiful
Imagine a whole city filled with these types of buildings, I swear I would think it's the apocalypse.
What about in winter?
Jake The Snake what do you mean?
@@daviderenda9211- In winter there are no leaves, therefore nothing but work to keep them alive. Pruning too, dangerous for all those below!
Now, THAT'S a future I want to see!
Very nice 😊
Now that's my kind of home!
great, can I use this video for my show?
I love this idea
It you put this in New York you already know where all the bugs are beaconing towards because there are no trees for miles.
imagine a heap of leaves reaching 2nd floor in autumn
What happens down the road when we learn that CO2 is not our enemy at all, and the SUN is the cause of climate change?
They should grow vegetables and flowers on those apartments
Beautiful
Is Milan now Le-Koro.

That way we can plant them even in small apartments and same tech used for new forestation for Big Trees. Fruits bearing from such trees and there health complications will have to be tested though.
But then, we'd yet again be forcing nature to fit our comfort instead of actually learning how to live with our ecosystem.

Hey... Sydney has a couple of skyscrapers that are as green as these... we might've build it after this one, but still...
amazing idea omg
It's like a couple of 2 small building with plants. I've been there many times and from november to March all the green is dead. Is just a fancy place for rich people
it's not dead lol
Proud to be an Italian guy.
Now imagine all the birds and bugs in the house.
I love this!!!
What would be more amazing is buildings covered with food crops like vegetables, fruits and fruit trees
Solve pollution and hunger
Win win
I csn assure you no one would like to eat food that absorbed pollution
I want to live in one of these flats 😍
Very good idea which I feel will remain niche though...
Nice video 👍
I saw the thumbnail and wondered why there was a Minecraft lets play on my sub box
There are similar buildings in Barcelona since 1980...
Why the dislikes?
dodo it was not available for everyone that's why
57 views, 48 likes, 116 dislikes. Looks good to me.
The video wasn't available to everyone right away, but the issue has since been resolved!
The Verge ,what do you mean by "not available to everyone right away"?
country restricted if i am not mistaken
At first I thought it was the UTS building near Central station

*builds vertical forest in Australia*
*person walks out on to their deck*
Person: What a nice day!
*10 magpies come out of nowhere and attack*
This is what would happen if a Vertical Forest was built in Australia
Imagine this in Autumn, with threes having yellow, red or purple leaves
I live in a 3rd world country and there's 1 flat building like this here, it's almost fully covered with plants and it's been like that for a long time. If a country like mine can do this, a 1rst world country can do it better, so yeah it's not impossible.
wouldn't a strong wind destroy all those trees & plants?
In Milan winds aren't very strong, cause is surrounded by mountains
imagine the public housing with this will change the quality of the city
this is not how to face off the co2 problem, its only an idea its like ispirational its like an enormous building that says to all " there is a problem"
Should have used algea
So smart
Mexico could really used this kinda stuff not to talk crap but if you ever go to Mexico you'll see why I'm saying this
is that Burj Khalifa of Dubai in the background at 2:33 ?????
Amr Ashraf nope, it’s a skyscraper situated in Milan
You could grow stuff and harvest it from your bed while watching tv 😋
the thumbnail looks like minecraft XD
Shaun Mifsud Hahah omg it does XD
Pollution: WEEEEEEEEEEE
Building with trees: *hi*
Insane
Geeze and I've been planting trees in the ground. What an idiot I am!
Set Ecosia as your default search browser!
Kevin Trejo No
I fear that success of this project will encourage progress, more encroachment of forests into this artificial ones.
This is hilarious I just watched a talk by Peter Eisenman complaining about building like this!
Chris De Bruin link
What about the electro-popution of the wireless technology? Do you have any plants for that? Or maybe the ppl will become plants themselves...
