Before Milan vertical forest, the team can say that there is no experience to learn from, which also urges us to continue to explore and try, Do more experiments to ensure that the systems in the vertical forest cooperate with each other
.
SBA since ancient times, human beings have always wanted to build a forest garden 。 The earliest dream of human forest architecture can be traced back to the air garden in Babylon, Cuba, in the 7th century BC
.
As a result, the world’s first vertical forest gradually began to land with a simple idea
. 
This also means that vertical forest design has been more and more widely recognized from commercial users to more urban residents
. 
We hope to build a building that is not only suitable for human settlement, but also a residence for nature
. 
They are mutually beneficial and inclusive
.
Man itself is a part of nature, and the urban space created by his wisdom is also a part of the natural order in essence

In a city full of skyscrapers, build something different
.
At present, it seems that the projects we do basically belong to the direction of green building, but in fact, our team does not want to limit the projects to be undertaken to the part of forestation
. 
We don’t want to be cold buildings, whether it’s vertical forest or other types of buildings or urban planning projects
.
Design together: “forest city” represents the ideal state of symbiosis between human, urban space and natural ecology in your mind? Xu Yibo: for me, forest city will be a vibrant city, which has reached the perfect balance between human, urban space and natural ecology
.
Design together: you introduced Milan vertical forest into China and had the opportunity to land
. 
Each time, the project team hopes to think, imagine and cross boundary in more directions, and constantly expand more updated fields
.
At that time, I also participated in the design process of vertical forest in Milan
.
Xu Yibo, head of China division of SBA firm, to understand SBA’s unique understanding of urban renewal concept and urban forest
Design together: if you used several keywords to describe the design essence and advantages of SBA, which words would you choose? Xu Yibo: I think the key words of SBA are technology, ecology, humanities and pluralism
. 
I think it is not impossible for the two to live together
. 
It can be said that the landing of these two buildings makes us full of confidence in realizing the vision of forest city in the future
. 
While keeping the existing scale and volume of the city unchanged, architects rebuild forests in the city to reproduce a strong and diversified ecological environment
.
At that time, he had an idea to create two vibrant buildings
.
I took this opportunity to learn about the construction and design process of this kind of new residential buildings, and also had the opportunity to introduce Milan’s vertical forest into China
. 
△ How vertical forest works © Boeri studio follows the world’s first vertical forest– After the completion of Milan vertical forest, its designer Boeri architectural design office tried to introduce this architectural form into China
. 
How will this successful move affect your future design career? Are there some unique ways of working? Xu Yibo: the construction of vertical forest has given us and the whole team a good opportunity to introduce this green concept and green technology into China
. 
△ forest city in forest city, we want to find this beneficial balance
.
It not only opens a new model of vertical greening, but also reinterprets the application of prefabricated buildings, so that the vertical forest technology can be industrialized
.
The integration of nature and city is not easy
.
It is not only restricted by nature, but also enjoys the development opportunities provided by natural space
.
In my opinion, this “perfect balance” is the ideal state of symbiosis between man and urban space and natural ecology.

△ Raphael’s cartoonroom on diversification is the policy formulated and always followed by SBA when it was established, whether from interior design, architecture to planning, or cultural planning, such as some art projects in Raphael’s exhibition hall before SBA, and the project of imagining the future life – Mars

△ Huanggang vertical forest vertical forest is not a model that can not be copied

At that time, when Mr
.
In terms of technology, during the construction of vertical forest, whether it is plants, irrigation, maintenance or some safety problems need technical support
.
In a brief history of mankind, herali revealed the natural attribute of man
.
Therefore, the best solution is to find a balance point
. 
Design together: when did your company begin to pay attention to the natural environment? Under what kind of environment and what inspiration did you get, so you decided to position the project undertaken by the company as forested? Xu Yibo: as we all know, the first vertical forest of SBA is in Milan
.
But in the future, the team still wants to explore and try something more interesting and meaningful
.
Combine the convenience of the city with the comfort of nature

Of course, there are many tests and doubts in the process of introducing Milan vertical forest into China
. 
This time, we will interview Mr
.
However, in the decades of rapid development in all aspects since industrialization, people have temporarily forgotten to consider nature
. 
Our original intention is to build livable ecological buildings, and forestation can be said to be the most direct and effective way to achieve this purpose
.
Since 2011, SBA has conducted in-depth research on China’s sustainable urban architecture and current architectural prototype, and has always followed SBA’s principles and objectives of ecological future and urban transformation
. 
In the whole construction process, we first pay attention to the historical and cultural base of the whole region, take it as a support, continue the surrounding context, and reflect the humanistic atmosphere of the building with our own strength, Instead of deliberately changing the form and spiritual quality precipitated over the years
. 
However, the successful landing of vertical forests in Huanggang and Nanjing shows us the inclusiveness and development of vertical forest technology

stanfano, as the editor in chief of Domus magazine, tracked Dubai, a desert city with crazy skyscrapers, he felt that all buildings in today’s world were surrounded by glass skin, metal appearance and artificial mineral facade, which reflected the hot sun and seemed less “human”
.
Now people have gradually forgotten the feeling of living in nature, but they are tired of the cold feeling of living in reinforced concrete
