#18 Stefano Boeri

Stefano Boeri, one of the most influential architects and urban thinkers of today, and the mind behind the world’s first vertical forest. In this episode, we talk about how an obsession with trees turned into vertical forest skyscrapers, and is now being developed into entire forest cities. Boeri describes the importance of being open about failures and why he wanted to start a university dedicated entirely to architectural failures. In this episode, we discuss: Bosco Verticale in Milan, Trudo Vertical Forest, Wonderwoods Vertical Forest, Forest City Liuzhou, and Smart Forest City in Cancun.
