Philippe Rizzotti Designs Reversible Botanical Garden Building in Besançon

Architect Philippe Rizzotti has created a new botanical garden building in Besançon, France, named Le Biome. The structure is designed to be both simple and spectacular, with a primary focus on minimizing its carbon footprint. A key feature of the design is its reversibility, allowing for future adaptation or dismantling with minimal environmental impact. The building serves as a green showcase for the botanical garden's collections. This project represents a contemporary approach to sustainable architecture within a cultural and educational institution. The design prioritizes environmental considerations throughout its construction and intended lifecycle. Le Biome provides a dedicated space for plant displays and public engagement. The architectural intervention was completed to house and present botanical specimens.
