The project is the result of the “Reinventing Cities” competition organised by the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group for a new office building and center for scientific research in Milan. The design features a 200-meter-long (650 feet) urban vineyard that covers the entire building, creating a publicly-accessible footpath that ascends from the street level to the rooftop. The VITAE building will host a farm-to-table restaurant on the ground level, high-tech offices above, and a series of facilities for the leading molecular and oncology research center ICOM, including terraced guest rooms for its international researchers, on the higher floors.
