Abstract
Humanity is facing a special point in history, the era of industrialisation is over soon and we are at the beginning of the Post-Anthropocene. Botanical gardens should be the place to present and forecast these changes. However, the design of botanical gardens remained undeveloped. The project is looking into the essence of botanical gardens and questions the operation mode in order to deliver a diverse understanding of nature. In the context of emerging environmental issues, how can botany take a leading role in developing a common understanding of the different kinds of natures we inhabit today?
