英文名称：Portugal FAIAL Botanical Garden

位置：葡萄牙

该项目位于葡萄牙城市Horta的西部地区，距离市中心有大约两千米的距离，是对当地Faial植物园的介绍。Faial植物园是葡萄牙关于Macaronesia植物区系最全的植物园之一。Macaronesia地区主要包括马德拉群岛，加纳利群岛，佛得角以及亚速尔群岛。

该项目中的植物园之所以特别，是因为它是从不同的维度和方向上开展设计的，其中包括植物园林，休闲区域以及文化展区。随着游客的逐渐增多，植物园内的布局也需要进行调整，这样的话便会对现有的环境和价值有所影响。同时，场地也会进行适当的扩张，此次设计团队所面临的主要挑战是对扩张的区域进行一个定位。设计师们利用当下的景观表现方式来创造一个动态的生态体系，同时让每个分类单元，比如样本植物，种属植物或者植物群与周边的环境以及当地的文化融合起来，有效利用各部分植物来体现植物园整体存在的价值。

The Botanical Garden of Faial, located 2km West from the city of Horta, is widely referenced as having one of the best collections of Macaronesia Flora (Macaronesia is composed by the archipelagos of Madeira, Canarias, Cape Verde and Azores).

The project intends to value the botanical garden in various dimensions: Botanical, recreational and cultural. The growing number of visitors demanded a strategy to rehabilitate the existing part, in what concerns landscape and botanical value. It also boosted its expansion, and it was our challenge to create a new concept for the expansion area. The design uses a contemporary language in recreating the ecosystem’s dynamics. It also reinterprets the natural and cultural landscape features of each taxon (specimen, genera, or family) that exists in the archipelago, adding value to the visitors, providing a new approach in terms of the contents.
