Botanical Garden

SCHEMI-BIPV-2 trasp

Resulting from a prize winning landscape project, the scheme consists of a series of greenhouses, "boxes", and "pebbles". Simple in volume, they dominate the entire scheme of the settlement. The Northern facade of this “city of plants”, irregular and set back from the street, underlines the strong image of the greenhouses.  The roofs are PV semi-transparent surfaces.
