We sat down with Thomas Auer of Transsolar, in order to talk about his work, the life of plants and his collaboration with DMAA on a greenhouse in Shanghai, China.
Having designed a zoo in the Chinese city of Taiyuan, DMAA was curious to delve into the deeper implications of the human relationship with nature and invited the eminent Austrian philosopher Konrad Paul Liessmann to share his insights into the topic.
We took a close look at the design development process of the three greenhouses at Taiyuan Botanical Garden, in order to find out what it means to build visually appealing homes for plants and visitors alike.
