Good design always seems so simple. The Jardín Botánico de Medellín in Colombia by Plan B is a great example – it takes a pretty basic program (a canopy in a botanical garden) and a pretty straightforward idea (hey, why not emulate the surrounding trees) and makes something pretty elegant. Made of reclaimed pine, the tree-like structures shade the garden courtyard, collect rainwater, and glow like lanterns at night. See video below.

I’ve been trying to get the images for this for a month now to put in the magazine. I really like it cuz to me it’s modern and zen.
