Stefano Boeri Architetti：这座名为“奇境森林”的项目是 Stefano Boeri Architetti 事务所在全球设计的第十四座“垂直森林”，由 G&S& 在荷兰乌得勒支开发。它是一座真正的“垂直绿色城市”，具备公共功能，向所有市民开放，是未来城市发展的前瞻性典范。

2025 年 11 月 7 日——“奇境森林”荣获 2025 年新可持续城市与人类住区奖“全球智能绿色建筑典范”称号。该项目已荣获众多国际奖项，包括享有盛誉的 2025 年 MIPIM 奖、2025 年国际建筑奖，以及如今的 2025 年新可持续城市与人类住区奖。

Stefano Boeri Architetti：The Dutch project whose name is “Wonderwoods Vertical Forest” is the fourteenth “vertical forest” designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti in the world. It is a true “vertical green city” that hosts public functions and is accessible to all citizens, a forward-thinking model for the future of urban development.

November 7, 2025 – The Dutch vertical forest “Wonderwoods Vertical Forest” designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti and developed in Utrecht, Netherlands, by G&S&, has been awarded as “Global Model of Smart Green Building” for the New Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements Awards 2025.

新可持续城市与人类住区奖是由全球人类住区论坛（GFHS）于 20 年前发起的一项全球年度奖项。该奖项由联合国机构和其他国际组织支持，旨在加速实现联合国可持续发展目标。获奖者来自世界各地，产生了显著的示范效应。作为全球可持续城市未来权威奖项，新可持续城市与人类住区奖（New SCAHSA）由全球人类住区基金会（GHSF）支持，旨在表彰和奖励在打造可持续城市与人类住区以及推进气候行动方面的杰出创新和领导力，并推广其创新策略。该项目展示了相关技术和方法以及成功经验，从而激励更多人效仿并采取切实行动。该项目由包括“15 分钟城市”理念的提出者、城市规划师卡洛斯·莫雷诺（Carlos Moreno）和巴塞罗那市前首席建筑师维森特·瓜拉特（Vicente Guallart）在内的评审团选出。

The New Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements Awards is an annual worldwide prize initiated 20 years ago by Global Forum on Human Settlements (GFHS). Supported by UN agencies and other international organizations, the awards program aims to accelerate the delivery of UN Sustainable Development Goals, notably SDG 11. The outstanding award winners come from different parts of the world, producing a significant demonstration effect. Positioned as a globally authoritative accolade for a sustainable urban future, and supported by the Global Human Settlements Foundation (GHSF), New Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements Awards (New SCAHSA) aims to recognize and honor outstanding innovation and leadership in making sustainable cities and human settlements, and advancing climate actions, and promote their innovative strategies, technologies and approaches as well as successful experience, thereby inspiring more people to follow suit and take decisive action on the ground.

“奇境森林是一座名副其实的‘森林中的垂直城市’，因为它除了住宅外，还设有绿地、运动区、餐厅、市民服务设施和办公场所。整个设计完全以树木、植物和花卉的融合为理念，真正成为了生物多样性的催化剂。七楼的一座人行天桥将我们的塔楼与相邻的 MVSA 项目相连，还设有一个所有人都能到达的高架露台，确保项目带来的好处能惠及所有市民，而不仅仅是居民。”Stefano Boeri Architetti 建筑事务所的合伙人Stefano Boeri 和Francesca Cesa Bianchi这样说道。

“Wonderwoods Vertical Forest is a true ‘vertical city in a forest’ because, in addition to housing, it houses green spaces, sports areas, restaurants, citizen services, and offices. It is entirely designed to integrate trees, plants, and flowers, making it a true catalyst for biodiversity. A pedestrian bridge on the seventh floor connects our tower to the adjacent MVSA project, with a raised terrace accessible to all, ensuring that the project’s benefits are accessible to all citizens—not just its residents” said Architect Stefano Boeri and Architect Francesca Cesa Bianchi, partners of Stefano Boeri Architetti.

“奇境森林”项目由两栋建筑组成，两栋建筑通过一座高架人行天桥相连（由 Stefano Boeri Architetti 设计的“奇境森林”和荷兰 MVSA 工作室设计的一栋建筑），拥有 360 棵树和 5 万株来自 30 种本土植物的植物，相当于一公顷森林的植被量，是一座活生生的建筑，其外立面会随着季节的变化而改变颜色和树叶密度。这些变化受阳光照射和植物自然生长周期的影响。这是一个真正的城市生态系统，促进了生物多样性，并为当地鸟类提供了栖息之所，这得益于专门融入外立面的圆形开口，可供鸟儿筑巢。

这些公寓的特点在于露台和阳台上的繁茂绿植、充足的自然采光以及开阔的城市景观视野。绿化维护由中央建筑系统管理，该系统配备传感器以高效监测灌溉情况并安排修剪活动。

在建筑方面，该建筑采用预制的外立面和阳台系统建造而成，其体块的精心布局使其在不同楼层适应场地的具体条件。建筑的垂直结构分为重叠的“层”，沿其轴线形成动态旋转，并在第七层与 MVSA 设计的相邻建筑相连。

在功能混合方面，“奇境森林”的底层设有自行车停放区和公共空间，而上层则设有办公室、健身设施以及一系列将居住区与工作室空间相结合的复式住宅。在第七层，室内和室外用餐空间使连接两栋建筑的人行天桥充满活力，天桥上还有空中花园，并可俯瞰城市全景。该项目的可持续性特点包括整个区域仅供行人通行，此外，在建筑物下方设有雨水收集系统，能够对雨水进行储存、再利用以及安全排放。

Selected by a jury including Carlos Moreno, urban planner and creator of the “15-minute city” vision, and Vicente Guallart, former chief architect for Barcelona City Council, the project has been awarded during the ceremony held in Geneva at the headquarters of the World Meteorological Organization (the agency of the United Nations that promotes international cooperation on meteorology, climate, hydrology, and related geophysical sciences), introduced by Iñaqui Carnicero, Secretary General for Urban Agenda, Housing and Architecture at the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda in Spain. During the event was signed the Geneva Declaration, providing a consensus-based reference for urban transformation and development worldwide, 19 best practices demonstrating outstanding achievements in sustainable cities and climate action were recognized for multiple regions and sectors.

The Wonderwoods project, consisting of two buildings connected by an elevated pedestrian bridge (the Wonderwoods Vertical Forest by Stefano Boeri Architetti and a building designed by Dutch studio MVSA), has already been recognized with numerous international awards, including the prestigious MIPIM Awards 2025 and the International Architecture Awards 2025. Results through which the project reaffirms itself as a forward-thinking model for the future of urban development.

After Bosco Verticale (Boeri Studio, Milan 2014), Wonderwoods Vertical Forest, the 14th “vertical forest” designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti with its 360 trees and 50,000 plants from 30 native species, equivalent to the vegetation of one hectare of forest, is a living architecture, with façades that change in color and foliage density throughout the seasons. These variations are influenced by sunlight exposure and the natural growth cycles of the vegetation. This is a true urban ecosystem, promoting biodiversity and offering shelter to local bird species, thanks to circular openings specially integrated into the façades to house bird nests.

The apartments are characterized by lush greenery on terraces and balconies, abundant natural light, and open views of the surrounding urban landscape. Green maintenance is managed by a centralized building system, equipped with sensors to monitor irrigation and schedule pruning activities efficiently.

In terms of construction, the building was realized using prefabricated façade and balcony systems, and it stands out for the careful articulation of its volumes, which adapt to the specific conditions of the site at different levels. The building’s vertical structure is divided into overlapping “tiers,” creating a dynamic rotation along its axis, and connects at the seventh floor to the adjacent building designed by MVSA.

In terms of functional mix, Wonderwoods’s ground floor hosts bicycle parking and public spaces, while the upper levels accommodate offices, fitness facilities, and a series of duplex residences that combine living areas with studio spaces. On the seventh floor, both indoor and outdoor dining spaces enliven the pedestrian bridge connecting the two buildings, which also includes hanging gardens and offers panoramic views of the city.

Among the project’s sustainable features, the entire area is pedestrian-only, and beneath the buildings, a rainwater collection system allows for the storage, reuse, and safe disposal of rainwater.
