After over 450 years, the oldest scientific garden in the world has been renovated, with a project seeking to enhance the existing part and a 15 thousand square metre extension, with five glass and steel greenhouses located within a 100 metre-long glass and steel gallery. Each glasshouse is the perfect reproduction of a climatic region of the plant, from the warmest and most fertile to the most extreme. Thanks to technology, the glasshouses have their own life, as a matter of fact “the building with the glasshouses also behaves like a plant. In other words, it purifies air, generates energy and holds water,” says architect Giorgio Strapazzon of the firm VS Associati, which developed the project for the new Botanical Garden. For air conditioning of the whole glasshouse building, the firm VS Associati has opted for the prestige and quality of products made by Sabiana, which supplied its Helios and Comfort air heaters, constructed according to criteria of sturdiness and safety and with a keen eye for design as always. The new garden will be one of the peak achievements showcased at the Italy Pavilion of Expo 2015.
