ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
The terrace above the pavilions offers an overview of the entire park and the buildings that form the edge of the surrounding urban fabric .
Between the three pavilions and the entrance building , and below the listed steel structure , a large circulation space integrates the project into the surrounding nature .
The network of pathways within and between the greenhouses generates new qualities . By actively exploring this network , visitors pass through each spatial sequence , experiencing a targeted interaction with the built substance .
Glazed parapets reveal these guests while gentle gradients speed up or slow down their progress .
The variation in water levels between the desert and the tropical vegetation is taken from nature , while also offering a global political perspective due to the questions about the future availability of water that are being raised by climate change .
In this way , the organically undulating form of the facade becomes a leitmotif for not only the internal organization but also the new adaptable relationship between humans and nature .
