The Entrance Area to Botanical garden in Prague is carefully designed as a connection between the city and the nature. These public spaces with eunusual views at Prague´s skyline, create both introduction to botanical exhibitions and visaul orthogonal base for the curve of the glasshouse above.
There is a small restaurant, pergolas, basin with water flowers, fountains, elevator and reserve garden. The winding, slightly ascending visitor´s path overcomes 12metres of height, in pram and disabled friendly rising.
The inspiration to the design can be found in steep castle gardens, vineyard´s walls and ortogonal geometry of modern art of 20th century.
