The project is to be seen with higher aim to achieve a global composition in the organic local landscape including art program and green activities.
The botanic garden building is one of the 5 iconic buildings that composes the masterplan. It does create a large public indoor space as an exhibition center and will be both for educational and playful purposes. It is a space to discover new plants and special species. Exhibition and café will be organized at the ground floor. A mezzanine level will provide an overview.
