@kayrosis5523 6 лет назад

While I'm all for adding greenery to buildings, I really dont think trees are the best way to go, both in terms of maintenance and environmental impact. Bushes/shrubs, grasses, and wildflowers would imo be a far better choice. They dont usually require deep root systems and correspondingly deep/heavy soil, and they capture about the same amount of carbon as trees while offering a much easier way to harvest and sequester that carbon. Wildflowers can also help maintain and revitalize critically important bee populations. If you want to have some trees on the roof to make a rooftop park? Sure, why not. But for terraces and balconies? Stick to the shrubbery.

@alexverdigris9939 5 лет назад

There's no much difference (in terms of your stated criteria) between a bush/shrub and a dwarf tree. For example, a Japanese maple (technically a tree) can be more compact than an upright Rosemarinus officinalis (a shrub that many grow on window sills as a herb). I suspect that the botanist has increasingly a job next to the architect, in advising the best specimens for the given conditions. I know for a fact they did take some expert arboriculture advise at Bosco Verticale, Milan, particularly with regard to soil composition as well as trees / shrubs specimens. I see a new emerging profession, the archi-botanist, who knows what to plant where in what soils on what buildings.

@Donald Kasper Sustainability refers to line graphs. For example, if fishing activity will eventually drop their population to 0 over time, then those fishing practices are unsustainable. Our population growth rate is also unsustainable, because it will have to plataeu. It's impossible to keep it growing, ad infinitum. So, if a logging company has a system that plants, grows and cuts trees in a cycle, and replenishes the soil, it's sustainable. The supply doesn't go down or up. It remains constant.

I love this idea but what happens when the roots inevitably reach the edges of the planters? We can already see the effects of long term tree growth on sidewalks and the edges of roads. I wonder how much additional maintenance is needed to address those issues. Plus regular maintenance... How is all of that managed? What's the cost of the employees and specialty management necessary to maintain the look(trimming, watering, removing dead plants, etc)?. Certainly an expense for the building owner but great source of new specialty jobs that are probably better economically than the usual window washers. Could be a great new job source and paid for partially by the greater efficiencies in temperature management inside the structures.

@kostpoliakov 5 лет назад

@@Nexxarian I'd say it isn't the wind, it is the climate (primarily, the cold, and moisture) that defines how high (elevation) the trees can grow and which tree species. Regarding the individual climate conditions, there are so many variables there, that I'll have to generalize heavily. • Good roots usually can enable the tree to withstand most winds, even ones that are "extreme" in human terms. • The maximum elevation at which the trees (conifers - pine trees) can comfortably grow in European climates are (approximately): 1000-2500 meters (3300-8200 ft), which is way above modern super-construction achievements. Leafy trees usually are at, (very) roughly, half that elevation. • Certain shrubs can grow even higher, and under city conditions can grow fairly large, but, in general, they lack the aesthetic beauty of trees. If my explanation is a bit hard to follow try looking up _tree line_ (timber line) for specific regions.

I love this article when trees meet tall buildings these buildings are absolutely beautiful yes there is maintenance to them but in the long run are quite healthy to be around. And they're quite beautiful.

What a great video! Interesting and articulate. Very refreshing to find a long RU-vid video that doesn't contain senseless babble. Will be watching more of your offerings in the future. Thank you!

I looked it up and it looks amazing! And wonder about that square structure that seems to levitate between the two towers... It is Heliostat, which is "A device that includes a plane mirror which turns so as to keep reflecting sunlight toward a predetermined target, compensating for the sun's apparent motions in the sky." Pretty cool!

In Aberdeen in the UK there is a new exhibition centre being built. It has a green roof and I think it is great for the city. I go there a lot to visit my mother

I saw Bosco Verticale everyday while going to work. It's beautiful to see, really, but it's also terribly expensive. A 2 room apartment can cost more than a million euro. No kidding

The problem is that it's just one building in Milan. So you're not only paying for the privilege of living in "that green building", but also for the privilege of living in a skyscraper in Milan, since most skyscrapers in Italy are used for commercial purposes, not residential.

I love seeing it but I also thought of the fire threat. We are currently having forrest fires already. These trees are near people in sunny places. That has to be a fire threat.

@TheB1M 6 лет назад

Yes, fire safety and engineering must of course be considered. We do touch on this in the video.

It could be so beautiful with flowers around the buildings, can you imagine they will be covered with blossom at the same time? Big opened flowers or a lot of small and greenery as well - will look like a farytile)))

nice, now we need to find more efficient ways to do it so it can become popular. the little art project ones are cute and all, but theyre very inefficient.

@Justyn_Lim_ 5 лет назад

m8 they aint "little art cute projects" at all by your friendly neighbourhood artists, these are projects with massive budgets by teams of people with huge developers who can afford. Designing these "green" buildings require a lot of planning and financing in order for these designs to be built. IT IS popular especially in the architecture industry but these designs are naturally expensive to build due to the nature of using plants, which is why many developers in the world do not adopt such designs for their buildings unless the country that the building is in incentivizes low environmental impact for its buildings then developers would be more willing to allow architects to use these designs. Building trends don't work the same as fashion trends!

Incorporating greenery in architecture is so beautiful and desirable but it is also a huge problem long term because of the continual moisture damage. Cracks, erosion and leaks, rotting etc. There has to be a way to overcome it but it will not be cheap or easy. Imagine if each of these green spaces were instead swimming pools and the problem will be more apparent as water always seeks the lowest point. These large spaces need to be sealed and they will not be sealed as one piece. And over time materials erode and compress etc. On a skyscraper with massive amounts of greenery included you might need to worry about structural damage similar to what caused that condo collapse in Florida. I would like to see a video of how they would make these buildings truly water tight and safe long term.
