Greenhouses to visit in Taiwan

The Verrière atlas lists 7 greenhouses in Taiwan, built between 1964 and 2026.

In Taiwan, greenhouses are chiefly about education and conservation. At the Taipei Botanical Garden, a low glasshouse devoted to the island's threatened plants has replaced a Japanese-era glass rotunda demolished in 2020. In 1999 Taichung's National Museum of Natural Science set a 31-metre bubble of glass and steel in the middle of the city. Two recent buildings complete the picture in Taipei: a pavilion from the 2010 Flora Expo turned collection greenhouse, and the zoo's rainforest hall, whose steel shell imitates Taiwan's pangolin.
