NEW SITE PLAN
The project began by studying Gordon Wilson’s Princess of Wales Conservatory, locates in the Kew Gardens in the suburbs of London, United Kingdom. The current conservatory holds 10 different ecosystems, ranging from different climatic and living conditions. Since it has an extensive collection, the current compact steel and concrete building is quite large. Aside from its outstanding composition of programs, perhaps the most interesting part of the building is its stepped and staggered pyramidical forms that follow the surrounding landscape.

For our project, after carefully studying the existing conditions of the conservatory, we intend to follow the same form principles as architect Gordon Wilson did. With the improvement of technology and a consideration for sustainability, we propose timber as a replacement for steel, and bigger glass panels that would allow for more sunlight to penetrate the botanical collection. The new botanical collection is Desert Medicinal plants, which is an addition to the current climatic zones, and It serves as an opportunity for people to come and use this building simultaneously as an educational space.
