GLASS HOUSE

The connection of the Botanical Garden from the visitor center is a space that allows for a smooth transition from the main entrance with security into the tropical feel of a rainforest. The design of the connection was in part take from the already existing buildings of the botanical glasshouse and visitor center.
The continuation of the existing buildings is apparent in the design; however, the midway connection interfuses the already existing buildings which include the structure of the glasshouse and negative space of the visitor center. The interior portion of the center was designed through a point system based of the structural frames and the patterns of the visitor center.
