The Arboretum is a part of the botanical garden which exhibits a collection of different species of trees. Our main task was to design the world’s vanishing plants garden with an educational pavilion, which is a shelter for endangered species. We have created a linear composition, which merges the garden with the pavilion.
The main idea of our project is slow and soft emergence of the garden and the pavilion. The pavilion penetrates the surrounding forest with gently sloping roof. This way we are closing the perspective defining the end of the pavilion. Moreover the transparency of the pavilion merges the garden and the architecture. On one hand, as a garden architecture, pavilion is light but it also adds a function frame. The main idea of our project is slowly and soflty emergence of a garden and a pavilion.

Designed object combined together into one complementary unity has characteristic features of basic elements which we can find in the landscaping architcture. Its horizontal, pavilion form is the connection between the trellis, the pergola and the bower. The pavilion rises slowly with the pergola and at one point they are covered by a full roof. It forms a shelter for plants from the Red List of endangered species. They are perched in a glass-case with exhibition of exotic trunk slices. Some of the plants in the garden grow in large pots, but most flower beds are partly surrounded by belts of corten steel.
