The Jardin Botanico Orquideorama in Medellin, Colombia was done by a group of mostly Hispanic architects, known as Plan:B Arquitectos. They did this project when Medellin was trying to revitalize the look of the city, and so Plan:B Arquitectos was brought in to create a compelling structure for this newly thought out Botanical Gardens. The structure is beautiful because of what it is able to do with light, especially in the contrast of the night sky. It is as well compelling to me, because it is in my native city, and it makes me proud to say that I am from a city that encourages architects like these to come and rethink what our city wants to share with outsiders, and people who really don't understand Colombia.
