Boettcher Memorial Tropical Conservatory
Boettcher Memorial Tropical Conservatory, Glass-enclosed conservatory at Denver Botanic Gardens, US
The structure features interlaced concrete arches filled with faceted Plexiglas panels, creating an environment for tropical plants across 11,000 square feet.
Architects Victor Hornbein and Ed White Jr designed the conservatory in 1964, and it received Denver Landmark status recognition in 1973.
The conservatory presents educational programs about tropical ecosystems, displaying food plants such as bananas, chocolate trees, and coffee plants.
The temperature-controlled environment maintains specific humidity levels throughout the year, allowing visitors to experience tropical conditions in Colorado.
A central two-story fabricated banyan tree serves as the focal point, providing multiple viewing levels of the surrounding plant collections.
