ZB Glasshaus
Zibo, Shandong
3500 sq m
A new park on the edge of the town of Zibo will be equipped with a botanical garden in its centre. A glass house is per definition a piece of nature, transported from a different climate, and thus in a constant need for climatised environment. Clouds are one of the main regulating elements for our climate. Zibo's cloud is composed of four layers of metal bars, spaced by one meter, which are supported by a 'forest' of thin columns. The system works as a light filter, as a source of water and humidity and as a general regulating mechanism for the Glass House.
