Description
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 principles 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 Botanic Garden Shanghai not only represents the whole variety of Nature, but also stands for collaboration and sharing of knowledge in a globalised world.
