This is the kind of classy stuff YouTube needs more of

[soniccigars]

Honestly this is one of the best trends to have taken place for those who can afford the upkeep cost. Hopefully we'll see more innovation in this direction.

I’m becoming an architect simply because of this channel & I don’t care how long it’ll take me (Please pray for me y’all)

Note to self:
If I ever decided to build a Studio, make sure it has lots of trees and plants on it to save up on Air Condition

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.

Birds are gonna love those trees, great views.

My dream job is to work for an architectural engineering firm that designs buildings like these.

[dekasyaumpraninra]

Man, the quality of content on this channel is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

The residential buildings in Milan and the Oasia Hotel look really nice

[Karuminu]

These plant buildings are beautiful! And good for the planet too!
Everyone who lives in an apartment building can contribute to the effort, too, by growing potted plants on their balconies. Plus, all the pretty flowers and foliage will make you feel good too. :)

the dedication to research and the simplicity with which you guys explain your findings is absolutely fantastic. Each video is like a miniature essay, this is definitely one of the best channels on YouTube

In ancient and medieval India, cities and forests were intertwined. Many foreing visitors didn't know whether it was a city or a forest. It is written in their travel logs. Same things happened in South East Asia as well. We should turn the world green like that. For our children and their children....

These going green is beautiful and it's a balm for the soul 🙏🏾🙌🏾

I was totally enamored by the Tree Towers in Milan, during a business trip in 2015. They are even more beautiful ini this video after several more years of growth. Thank you for sharing this video so that I could learn more, and the rest of the world could also appreciate a wonderful set of buildings. Should I ever find myself taking residence in Milan...these would be at the top of my list for home options.

the Bosco Verticale is not only a crucial achievement in green architecture, it's also a beautiful sight to see when you walk around Porta Garibaldi. They've become an icon to the Milanese skyline.

[wolfenstien]

Videos like this, is what gives me hope in the future.

[tsukirunsu]

This is how buildings should look like

[gustopher]

I've been to le bosco verticale in milan and it is absulutely stunning
also you don't see it in the video but there's a really nice park next to it now and even more amazing buildings
