Online talk: Trudo Vertical Forest Eindhoven
Tuesday 30 January 2023 at 18–18:45, online
In English, Register here

In January’s online event, we get to know the Trudo Tower in the Netherlands, designed by Stefano Boeri. The speakers will be agronomist and landscape designer Laura Gatti and Jarno van Veelen from Kekkila-BVB Landscaping. Arja-Liisa Kaasinen, Head of Collaboration & Engagement of the Museum of Finnish Architecture, will lead the discussion.

In the context of Stefano Boeri Architetti‘s vision for a new architecture of biodiversity, Trudo Vertical Forest applies the Vertical Forest model to social housing for the first time. Designed to accommodate mainly low-income users – such as young professionals and students – the tower in Eindhoven houses flats with low rents but high living quality. The complex vision of “living” coexistence between man and other species is thus amplified in the project into a dual challenge: the possibility of combining the great challenge of the environmental crisis with the urgent need for affordable housing in contemporary cities.
