A contemporary botanic garden is a strictly protected natural urban green area, where a managing organization creates landscaped gardens and holds documented collections of living plants and/or preserved plant accessions containing functional units of heredity of actual or potential value for purposes such as scientific research, education, public display, conservation, sustainable use, tourism and recreational activities, production of marketable plant-based products and services for improvement of human well-being.

Botanical Garden map, designed and adjusted for the project. An analysis of the existent fabric(magenta for hystoric layer; grey for monumental plants and turquoise for existing buildings or greenhouses) + the added layer (pavilions in cyan and light green).
I shot some macros to capture and keep alive the nature’s transition states. To define the ephemeral as the project concept.
Seen as an ethereal perception of reality, the reflection has an subjective and unique point of view, temporary and ephemeral.

The temporary added layer on the former map: a system of pavilions. Informative ones in light green and contemplative in cyan.
Contemplative and Informative pavilions merged into nature and their ethereal aspects.
