Brooklyn Botanic Garden Visitor Center

Abstract

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden visitor center establishes a visionary public interface between city and garden.The integration of the site’s ecological engineering and horticultural design — making the stormwater management component as ambitious as possible, getting complicated soil specifications right before planting, and tracking down niche growers to supply the carefully chosen plant palette — offers a new pedagogical paradigm with the Garden’s first highperformance botanical exhibit.
