From paintings and literature to music and film, the natural world is an inspiration to many.
Featured in an episode of CNBC's "Sustainable Energy" earlier this year, the exteriors of the buildings — which are located in the Porta Nuova area of Milan — are covered in plants and trees. "I've been living at the Bosco Verticale since its opening," Simona Pizzi said. "It doesn't feel like we're living right in the middle of busy Milan, where everything goes quite fast," she added.
Take the T3 Minneapolis building in Minnesota. Completed in 2016, this structure uses more than 1,100 panels of nail-laminated timber, or NLT. According to MGA, most of the NLT used in the building is "made of lumber from trees killed by the mountain pine beetle." "But when we get it right — meaning we're replanting — we can actually create a harmony where we're growing more trees, young trees are sequestering carbon faster than old trees, and we can actually create a cycle of planting trees and using wood that actually captures more carbon than if we just left the forest as a native forest."Green's articulation of the need for balance and harmony is an important one echoed by others.
