The contribution of NEX of creating a benchmark was shown at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2011. Additional help for the creation of the Times Eureka Pavilion were Buro Happold and Chelsea Gold Medallist Marcus Barnett, in alliance with the Royal Botanic Gardens. This Pavilion is a temporary exhibition space with the most important mission of indicating humanities symbiotic relationship with natural ecosystems and contributes a warm space for visitors.
Marcus Barnett Landscape Architects was commissioned by The Times to design and build the garden. The Focus was to demonstrate a commitment to science and reflecting The Times monthly science Magazine, Eureka.
The design concept of the garden was to look closely at the cellular structure of plants. Not only that but their processes of growth. In fact this was a good step for the design to develop much further as Alan Dempsey, NEX Principal said. “Bio-Mimicry’’ of leaf capillaries being entrenched in the walls was the key element of the design development of the pavilion. The detail of the cellular structure can be appreciated as if it seen through a magnifier glass. Actually, the whole design of Times Eureka Pavilion interacts well with the ambience because of the good relation as regards the design with the surrounding.
