SKY RISE GARDEN IS THE ENVELOPE
OF HABITABLE GREEN SPACE
RISING PARALLEL WITH HIGH RISE
FLOORS.
THE COMMON GENERIC DEFINITION
IS SHARED WITH
PODIUM LANDSCAPE,
TERRACE/ROOF GARDEN AND
GREEN ROOFS.
SKY RISE GARDEN IN ADDTION TO
COMMON FEATURES VISA- VIS
PODIUM AND TERRACE GARDEN
RISES IN SPECIFIC CHARACTER AND
MORE IDENTIFIED WITH HIGH RISE

SKY GARDENS DEMANDS VERY HIGH
LEVEL OF SKILL SETS IN
INDENTIFYING THE RIGHT SPECIES
OF PLANTS VISA-VIS WITH PODIUM
AND TERRACE GARDEN.
THE SELECTIVE PLANTS SHOULD
HAVE SMALL LEAVES /FLOWERS
CAPABLE OF RESCUING FORM HIGH
WINDS .THE MORE HARDIER LEAVES
, THE BETTER PROTECTION FROM
HEAVY RAIN FALL FORCE.
THE SELECTIVE TREES SHOULD BE
BUSHY WITH SMALL LEAVES AND
MINIMAL SPREAD OF CANOPY .

APPERAS CLOSE TO TWISTED GARDEN MOUNTAIN.
INTERMEDIATE FLOOR BALCONIES FORMS TERRACE GARDEN SUPPORTING FRUIT TREES ,KITCHEN GARDEN
AND OTHER SELECTIVE PLANT SPECIES.
THE WHOLE DESIGN OF GARDEN OFFERS SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES BY PRODUCTION OF COMPOST FROM THE
GARDEN AROUND,SUPPORTING RAIN HARVESTING SYSTEM, SOLAR ENERGY PRODUCTION.THE IRRIGATION IS
SOURCED FROM THE RECYCLED WATER OF THE COMPLEX .
THE WHOLE ENVELOPE OF GARDEN AROUND EACH INTERMEDIATE FLOORS DEMONSTRATES THE
BRAVE EXPRESSION OF SUBTROPICAL BIODIVERSITY IN THE SKY.

THE PROJECT REPRESENTS THE FIRST PIONEER ECO CONSTRUCTION OF TAIWAN BUILT ON SUSTAINABLE MODEL
BUILDING PERFECT SYMBIOSIS BETWEEN HUMAN BEING AND NATURE
THE BUILDING DEMONSTRATES TRUE LIVING ORGANISIM BY ENCOURAGING THE INHABITANTS TO CULTIVATE
VERTICAL FARMING
THE LANDSCAPE CONCEPT FORMS THE EXPRESSION OF SUSPENDED GARDENS ENVELOPING THE ENTIRE BUILDING ,
REPRESENTING AN VERTICAL INHABITED PARK.
THE LANDSCAPE BALCONIES REPRESENTS TWO SPECIFIC CHARACTER IN RELATION TO THE ROTATION OF TOWER .
THE ASCENDING BALCONIES CALLED POSITIVE IS BENIFITTED BY MAXIMUM SUN COVER ENCOURAGING TO GROW
SUBTROPICAL PLANTS
THE DESCENDING BALCONIES CALLED NEGATIVE, LOCATED IN THE HIGHER LEVEL IS PARTIALLY SHADED
ENCOURAGING TO GROW AROMATIC PLANTS, VEGETABLES AND CREEPERS .
THE AGORA GARDEN PROJECT IS A NATURE BUILT FROM THE LIVING THAT FIGHTS FOR
THE RE-NATURALISATION OF ECOPOLIS OF TOMORROW!

BOSCO VERTICALE, MILAN, ITALY
PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT :STEFANO BOERI
THIS NEW SKYSCAPER COMPOSED OF TWO TOWERS RISING 80 AND 112 MTS RESPECTIVELY REPRESENTS
TRUE ESSENCE OF BIOLOGICAL ARCHITECTURE DISCOURAGING TEAMING WITH TECHNOLOGICAL AND MECHANICAL
SYSTEMS TO COUNTER ENVINORNMENTAL SUSTAINBILITY.
BOSCO VERTICALE HOUSES 730 SPECIALLY CULTIVATED TREES, 11,000 GROUNDCOVER PLANTS AND 5,000 SHRUBS
COLLECTIVELY FORMING MID AIR HECTARE OF FOREST.
THE VEGETATION APART FROM PRODUCING EDIBLE BENIFITS ACTS AS AIR PURIFIER MECHANISIM BY ABSORBING
ATMOSPHERIC DUST AND FILTRATION OF SUNLIGHT.THE BIGGEST BENIFIT BEING CARBON DIOXIDE EATER!
EACH PERCH OF LIFE WILL AID IN REDUCING CITY NOISE, MODERATING ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURES,
AND ACTING AS AN ENERGY SUSTAINER FOR SEASONAL WEATHER SHIFTS.
