Grimshaw建筑师事务所、Arup工程顾问公司和Haley Sharpe公司合作设计了阿拉伯半岛最大的“阿曼植物园”。在国王Sultan Qaboos Bin的指导下，这个生态公园将用来进行该国植物多样性和数百种濒危物种的保护工作，公园内还设有游客中心，教育和研究设施。

Grimshaw architects, Arup engineering, and Haley Sharpe design have collaborated to present the ‘Oman botanic garden’, the largest of its kind within the Arabian Peninsula. Designed with guidance from his majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin said al said, the eco-park will celebrate and conserve the country’s botanic diversity with hundreds of endangered species and also house a visitor center, education and research facilities.

“阿曼植物园”位于距离马斯喀特35公里的哈迦山山脚下，具有独特的地理环境。建构工程将河床提升到海拔100米后，古老的河床依然清晰可见，这也是世界上仅有的几个景观之一。Arup和Grimshaw在设计时保留了原有的天然山脊和山谷，建筑和道路在山中穿行，建筑师巧妙地将建筑与壮丽起伏的山丘融为一体。

Located 35 kilometers from Muscat, in the foothills of the Al Hajar Mountains, the ‘Oman botanic garden’ has a unique site condition.  It is one of only a few locations in the world where the ancient sea bed is still visible after tectonic activity elevated the bed to 100 meters above sea level. Arup and Grimshaw worked with the existing natural ridges and ravines that traverse the site to design the buildings and walkways, carefully integrating them within the spectacular undulating land.

由于独特的生态环境和教育设施的复杂要求，该方案需要特别考虑游客舒适度和生态舒适度。设计策略包括被动和主动遮阳、自然光优化、冷却和高效的植物灌溉等。太阳方位、气候模式和人类行为等因素也会在设计过程中逐一考虑。

The complex program requirements of the unique ecological environment and educational facilities required a balance between visitor comfort and ecological comfort. The design strategy incorporates passive and active shading, natural daylight optimization, and cooling and efficient plant irrigation. Orientation of the sunlight, weather patterns and human behavior have also informed the design of visitor flow through the site.

Grimshaw 的合伙人Keith Brewis说道:“阿曼植物园是一个令人惊叹的工程，它具有多层文化与环境交织的意义。它的规模和多样性都处于世界领先地位，我们很荣幸成为生物多样性保护项目的核心驱动者。”

“The oman botanic garden is an astonishing project with many layers of interwoven cultural and environmental significance,” says Keith Brewis, Grimshaw partner. “Its scale and diversity is truly world-leading, and we are honored to work as the architects for a project that has the conservation of bio-diversity as a core design driver.”

副总监兼项目经理Ed Clarke补充道:“在Arup公司，我们很享受阿曼植物园设计所带来的各种独特的挑战；从设计自然和真实的景观到重建哈伊夫的凉爽的雾。我们有700名多专业的工程师和设计人员参与其中，去创建一个壮观的具有创造性概念的设计方案。阿曼植物园一定是世界上最非凡的工程之一。

Ed Clarke, associate director and project manager added, ‘At Arup we have enjoyed the many unique challenges presented by the Oman botanic garden; from designing natural and authentic landscapes to recreating the cool mists of the Khareef. More than 700 of our multi-disciplinary engineers and specialist designers were engaged to explore and find solutions that would befit such an ambitious and creative brief. The oman botanic garden must surely be one of the most marvelous projects in the world.’
