Abstract

The Tropicario is inserted with respect in the extraordinary environment of the Botanical Garden of the Colombian capital. It is characterized by a cellular and modular architectural system that harmonizes well with the adjacent landscape system. The morphology of the module is a triangle with open vertices in plan: it is the shape of the section of the papyrus stem - a symbol of organic life that grows in wetlands, one of the basic ecosystems of the territory in which Bogotà was established. As a strategy for the conservation and protection of ecosystems, the Botanical Garden is developing the "Nodes of Diversity" initiative, a project that promotes new botanical expeditions in different areas of the country, and which aims to protect some of the most threatened ecosystems of Colombia. The Tropicario is the new symbol of this project: a space for raising public awareness of environmental issues.
