The landscape serves as a giant sponge, moving all the storm water into a series of fountains and wetlands. The Technogardens are a mix of local and exotic plant communities creating a series of botanical experiences. The plaza features locally sourced granite, cut into broad swooping gestures that tie together the whole land. A variety of shade elements create moments of respite from the strong Shanghai sun including a system of curving, cantilevered trellises, tight allees of shade trees and ETFE clad canopies.
