City Arboretum & Botanic Garden

An arboretum is a space dedicated to the collection, conservation, research, and display of living trees. Arboreta use their collections to study and conserve trees, providing space for the intentional preservation of specific trees and shrubs for educational and scientific purposes. Distinct from a forest, nursery, or park, arboreta are spaces where varieties of trees are grown for the purpose of research, education, and exhibition.

Arboreta use their collections as archives for research, documenting biodiversity among and within species. This work is critical to the survival of trees and our planet, as a diverse collection of trees is more likely to survive the environmental stresses which are increasing each year in scale, magnitude, and frequency.

Sectional Perspective

Arboreta are specialized botanical gardens that feature trees and other woody plants (but may also include other kinds of plants). They are places where endangered plants and trees are protected and propagated in order to preserve the biological diversity of our planet.

Water & Greenery

It celebrates the water chanel with aquaticplants as a symbol of its decorative and ecological richness to grow an example of the complex water system. The complex water system allowed the water to flow out in the form of a shallow surface through the arches and running along the colonades.

The the proportional and shapes frame the visual canvas colorised by diverse vegetations and creatures.

Atrium & Coutyard

The space embedded verandas as a circulation route surrounding the atrium and isolating the couryards and zones. plants contribute to reshapin the spatial pattern and layers, and provides a playful walking experience as well as fantastic views.

The opens present variations according to different landscapes and spatial functions. It’s closely combined with the curved edges of the arches and atrium, hence forming several arc-shaped transparent spaces, which integrate the nature, architecture, and sky into the same picture.

Perspective Section

Among the similarities between the natural and artificial worlds is the centrality of structural systems. Regardless of provenance, structure shapes the material life of virtually every form. Most generally, structure may be thought of as a reaction to forces at play in a gravitational field and as such bears intimate relation to the formal language of objects.

Structure is, whether explicitly revealed or not, a geometric language that is not only responsive to the paths of gravitational loads moving through matter but a force which organizes the tectonic vitality, organization, and space of architecture.
