Same Eco-System Meridians
This design for an addition to the Botanical Gardens (BECBG) proposes to expand upon the existing linear Buffalo meridian and create a series of three new proposed meridians. For example, visitors will travel on a pathway that will take them through four different arid habitats: Mojave Desert, Namib Desert, Grand Canyon, and Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, based on suggestions from the horticulturalist curators. altogether, there are all four climates: Evergreen, Rainforest, Wetland, and Dry & Arid, as well as the selected specimen Garden Plants currently displayed at the BECBG, representing the most outstanding exotic environments. Intersections are heightened and create a new characteristic of special environments.

Understanding existing building structure applies into basic scheme of the proposal. Ribs are perfect forms to flixible open and close of screen system for gain natural sun light. And parametric design tool, Grasshopper in Rhino, allows creating organic shape with ribs.

Circulations in multi-floors easily give various experiences of different conditions of environments to travelers when they move up to down floor or down to up floor. for example, top floor is dry & arid ecosystem requiring the most sun, but the bottom floor is wetland ecosystem; therefore, humid naturally travels down, and hot air goes up to top floor. the design of the circulation in the new botanical garden considers natural phenomenon and applies these performance considerations to the gardens.
