"Der vertikale Wald" von Stefano Boeri

Der italienische Architekt Stefano Boeri wurde im November letzten Jahres in der Frankfurter Paulskirche mit dem Internationalen Hochhaus Preis (IHP) gekürt. Die Jury lobpreiste sein herausragendes Projekt mit dem Urteil: " Die bewaldeten Hochhäuser bilden ein anschauliches Beispiel einer Symbiose von Architektur und Natur sowie einen Ausdruck des allumfassenden menschlichen Bedürfnisses nach Grün".

From the architect. The Porta Nuova area has almost completed its urban metamorphosis in one of the most important poles of the new Milano. The new residential complex “La Corte Verde” (the Green Court) represents a small but important part of this reform; its location makes it an element of transition between the new high volumes to the North and the existing urban fabric to the South. The transversal dimension of the plot and its trapeze shape made building volumes along its perimeter difficult. We chose to place the volume on the east edge, overlooking the large green via Viganò street, while the West edge onto via Rosales is defined by a low wall which protects the garden and by a canopy that protects the vehicular access to the underground parking and their stair block. Two other building volumes designed by CZA for the adjacent property will complete the South edge of the area, forming a “porous” block consisting of buildings of different heights clustered around the vast central garden. A geometric inflection of the higher volume on the North connects via Viganò with the large ramp going up to the new circular square embraced by the Unicredit complex; the lower volume to the South relates to the existing houses on the other side of via Viganò, taking on the height and the street alignment.

A new AECOM-designed piazza in the heart of Milan opened to large crowds and rave reviews in December 2012. This landmark new square is named after Gae Aulenti, the late Italian architect of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, and sits at the heart of the Porta Nuova Garibaldi development adjacent to Milan’s main train station.
