In the megacity of Shanghai, a new botanic garden should come
to life for the EXPO 2010: 35 theme parks will spread across 200
hectares of land, framed by a ring of laurel forests from all over
the world. Not only did the project have to allow for the particular
climatic and geological conditions of the space, but it also had
to meet the highest ecological expectations. Sustainable technology
and architecture as well as an ingenious water cleansing
system complete the sensational design, which combines Chinese
and European principals of landscape architecture.
By means of
numerous plans and pictures, this book presents the concept and
the demands of the project, offering a glance behind the scenes.
The Chenshan Botanical Garden Shanghai not only represents the
whole variety of Nature, but also stands for collaboration and
sharing of knowledge in a globalized world.
