Horticultural Havens

Plasma Studio Design is for Those Who Can't Get Enough Green

Plasma Studio is responsible for the design of the China Horticultural Fair of 2011. This project "involves structures totaling 12,500 square meters and over 35 hectares of
landscape… this massive project aims to synthesis horticulture and technology where landscape and architecture converge." (Designboom.com)

While the project is slated to be done by 2011, there is still a lot of work to be done before the expected 20,000 daily visitors can enjoy this projects many features. There will be four different climatic zones of plants and flowers in the greenhouse as well as gardens floating atop the water.  This project is sure to be a green haven for tree lovers.
