Vertical Gardens: Stefano Boeri | TALK (EN)

The Italian architect Stefano Boeri is best known for his »Bosco Verticale« (2014), a set of two green residential towers in Milan. To use the urban space as efficiently as possible, he designed façades integrating thousands of plants that now improve the microclimate, mitigate noise, dust, and heat, and provide habitats for birds and insects. Do vertical gardens hold out a promise for more liveable cities? Can they help transform urban spaces into hubs of biodiversity? Stefano Boeri presents some of his projects
and answers your questions.

Weil Chair – A Chair for Everyone | WORKSHOP (DE)

Affordable design for all – this idea is as old as design itself and still just as relevant. The Berlin designer and architect Van Bo Le-Mentzel transports the concept into the digital age: construction plans for many of his designs can be downloaded from the Internet and built as a DIY project. For this workshop, Le-Mentzel has designed a new chair – the Weil Chair – which participants can build under supervision.

»Garden Futures« – Guided tour at the Vitra Design Museum (DE)

Details

Gardens reflect identities, dreams, and visions. Deeply rooted in their culture, they can unfold immense symbolic potential. The recent revival of horticulture has focused less on the garden as a romantic refuge than as a place where concepts of social justice, biodiversity, and sustainability can be tried and tested. Gardens have become places of the avantgarde. The exhibition »Garden Futures« at the Vitra Design Museum is the first to explore the history and future of modern gardens.

Gardens have become places of the avantgarde. The exhibition »Garden Futures« at the Vitra Design Museum is the first to explore the history and future of modern gardens.

For this workshop, Le-Mentzel has designed a new chair – the Weil Chair – which participants can build under supervision.

Gardens reflect identities, dreams, and visions. Deeply rooted in their culture, they can unfold immense symbolic potential. The recent revival of horticulture has focused less on the garden as a romantic refuge than as a place where concepts of social justice, biodiversity, and sustainability can be tried and tested. Gardens have become places of the avantgarde. The exhibition »Garden Futures« at the Vitra Design Museum is the first to explore the history and future of modern gardens.

Weil Chair – A Chair for Everyone | WORKSHOP (DE)

Affordable design for all – this idea is as old as design itself and still just as relevant. The Berlin designer and architect Van Bo Le-Mentzel transports the concept into the digital age: construction plans for many of his designs can be downloaded from the Internet and built as a DIY project. For this workshop, Le-Mentzel has designed a new chair – the Weil Chair – which participants can build under supervision.

»Garden Futures« – Guided tour at the Vitra Design Museum (DE)

Details

Gardens reflect identities, dreams, and visions. Deeply rooted in their culture, they can unfold immense symbolic potential. The recent revival of horticulture has focused less on the garden as a romantic refuge than as a place where concepts of social justice, biodiversity, and sustainability can be tried and tested. Gardens have become places of the avantgarde. The exhibition »Garden Futures« at the Vitra Design Museum is the first to explore the history and future of modern gardens.
