Stefano Boeri
Milano, Italy

The Bosco Verticale in Milan, which was completed in 2014, allowed Stefano Boeri to implement his vertical forest concept for the first time. Additional projects are now being built all over the world. We spoke to the Italian architect about his experiences and the optimisation processes behind them.

Until the first of May 2022, the Homo Faber event will take place in Venice, spotlighting international craftsmanship.

Architect Stefano Boeri is curating the supersalone, an extraordinary event of the Salone del Mobile, which will take place in Milan from 5 to 10 September 2021. He explains to us in an interview what his concept is for the dynamic format and why the international furniture fair should also present itself in a more low-threshold way in the future.

"supersalone" – this will be the motto of this year's edition of the Salone del Mobile in Milan from 5 to 10 September. Curator Stefano Boeri presented the extraordinary concept to the public for the first time at a press conference: Central themes are sustainability, dynamics and flexibility.

For the urban development project "Pavilions by the Seaside" in Haikou, China, curator Weng Ling combines architecture and art from a total of 20 international creatives, including famous names such as Bjarke Ingels and Anish Kapoor. The concept she explains to us in an interview.

This year, surprisingly, but logically “Bosco Verticale” by Stefano Boeri won the International High-Rise Award. Will it become a role model?
