INHABITATION We designed a botanical garden located in the Lee park. The main building is a greenhouse made of glass, and we use the amazing unit from Ibirapuera Park to create different layers and distance between glass,which I learned from my case study- Toledo glass museum, to provide people Also due to the glass, people will see more trees because this garden a forest. Because of the elevation difference of the park, we build a water-collect system: water from the park south and then gather in the pool. We organize the plants to herbaceous and woody, directing visitors to see and learn local plants.
