Based in Milan with offices in Shanghai and Tirana, since 1993 Stefano Boeri Architetti has been dedicated to research and practice mainly in architecture and urban planning, but also in the fields of interior design and culture.
With a constant focus on the geopolitical and environmental implications of urban phenomena, the studio develops architectural and regeneration projects in complex environments and on different continents, promoting and strengthening synergies between all the different public and private players involved in development. This integrated and multidisciplinary approach has allowed Stefano Boeri Architetti to acquire a strongly defined identity and to become a reference point for sustainable architecture, social housing and strategic urban development at different scales, both in Italy and internationally.
The studio’s activity and design approach, the subject of an international publication (“Green Obsession” Stefano Boeri Architetti, Actar, 2021), takes shape in the integration with different strategies, modes and scales, of living nature with architecture, reconnecting the natural and human spheres and re-evaluating our role as human beings on the planet.
Thanks to its achievements, the study has received numerous international awards:
the Bosco Verticale, which was built in Milan in 2014 and has become the new symbol of Milan and of biodiversity in architecture, was named best building in the world by the CTBUH (Chicago) and received the award for best skyscraper by the DAM in Frankfurt. In addition, the firm received the official recognition of Professional Leadership in Biodiversity in Architecture by the US Green Building Council (2020). Starting with Bosco Verticale as the first prototype of architecture that integrates living nature into architecture, Stefano Boeri Architetti is currently working on urban and vertical forestation projects all over the world, with particular attention to local climatic conditions and specific functional requirements.
