The new Taiyuan Botanical Garden Domes complex in Taiyuan, China features 3 domes ranging from 43m to 88m in diameter and from 12m to 30m in height. The largest of the three domes is the longest clear-span timber gridshell (non-triangulated) in the world. All three parabolic gridshells comprise light doubly curved glulam beams, arranged in two or three crossing layers.
Bonsai Museum
Another highlight of the Botanical Garden is the Bonsai Museum, designed as a rotated bowl integrated into the park’s topography, a welcoming arena for the plants‘ display.
Restaurant Tea-House
The Restaurant is designed in resemblance to the Chinese Traditional Temples, evoking the wooden structures as its design premise. After a few studies trying to potentiate the structure into a contemporary and reasonable basis, a shifted grid made from stacked timber beams was established as the main conductor of a very attractive and atmospheric space. Incorporated into the landscape, for one side, the restaurants geometry detaches itself from it, extending opening up to the lake.
Research Centre
The Research Centre houses laboratories, studios, office spaces, workshop and meeting rooms, lecture halls as well as a library. In order to maximize its function, the program is divided into separate buildings, connected by an interior path along the ground floor.
