The Palm House at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, in addition to being a literal interpretation of the terrarium, is also a piece of architecture which provides clues for studying certain design themes, such as the interplay between the interior and the exterior, as well as certain environmental themes. It emphasises the critical relationship between architecture and nature by nurturing plants that are almost extinct in the wild. It embodies various geo-political themes in regard to the relationship between Empire and the colonies. It is also an example of a cultural direction which evokes an anthropocentric way of thinking.

Abstract
The Palm House at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, in addition to being a literal interpretation of the terrarium, is also a piece of architecture which provides clues for studying certain design themes, such as the interplay between the interior and the exterior, as well as certain environmental themes. It emphasises the critical relationship between architecture and nature by nurturing plants that are almost extinct in the wild. It embodies various geo-political themes in regard to the relationship between Empire and the colonies. It is also an example of a cultural direction which evokes an anthropocentric way of thinking.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
