A concept for a conservation science centre in Bannerghatta Biological Park: a timber-finned drum and glass domes set into a planted landscape.

The idea

The centre sits in the landscape rather than on it: curved wings and glass domes are set into planted mounds, so the park runs over the building.

Arrival

A timber-finned drum marks the entrance at the top of broad steps; curving paths lead out to the domes.
