With trees equal to one hectare of forest spanning 27 floors, these 365 and 260-foot emerald, twin towers called the Bosco Verticale will be home to an astonishing 730 trees, 5,000 shrubs and 11,000 ground plants.

Boeri Studios' director, Michele Brunello, has been managing the project since it was designed in 2006.（點擊英國《每日郵報》查看原文）

意大利打造“垂直森林”

?????? 據英國《每日郵報》報道，意大利米蘭正在建造種滿樹木的雙子摩天樓，此舉尚屬全球首例。目前，樹木正盆栽生長，它們的新家也還在建設當中。

?????? 分布于27層的樹木疊加相當于一公頃土地的種植面積。名為“垂直森林”的雙子樓，高度分別為365、260英尺，外觀碧綠蔥郁，共有730棵樹、5000株灌木、11000株庭院植物將在此安家。

?????? 自從這兩座樓2006年投入設計，博瑞建筑設計室主管米歇爾?布魯內洛一直忙于此項目。
