Strange but true: sustainable air-conditioned greenhouse by Atelier Ten

First design two giant greenhouses for Singapore, then try to cool them – sustainably. Is this the construction equivalent of a Jamaican bobsleigh team?
If there were a prize for the least sustainable building concept, an air-conditioned greenhouse would surely be a strong contender. Barmy as it sounds, that is what is being built in hot and humid Singapore – or rather two of them. Crazier still, the scheme is intended to be an exemplar of sustainable practice.
The huge biomes taking shape on the waterfront are part of the Gardens by the Bay project, a regeneration scheme on reclaimed land near the business district. One greenhouse will re-create the cool moist environment of a mountain “cloud forest” while the other will replicate the cool dry conditions of a Mediterranean spring.
