No, it’s not the story of some kind of 3.0 web experience, just the story of a visit to the conservatories of the Garden by the Bay.

Though, those conservatories can feel a like a 3.0 web experience : you enter huge glass bubbles where a whole natural area has been recreated. You get the strange feeling you have just entered a dark science fiction story where the outside air is so badly polluted humans had to recreate full size natural areas so they can remember what waterfalls and flowers looked like.

Those conservatories are real engineering achievements where you can stroll along the pedestrian passageways sometimes feeling like you’re just one amongst so many other visitors, sometimes feeling like you’ve discovered a secret passageway.

Every part of the Cloud was conceived so you can discover as much (and even more) as you would in a real rain forest. For instance, behind the vegetal walls you’ll discover what happens in a grotto.

You finish your tour with a highly instructive (and quite scary) underground stroll where huge screens explain the main ecological issues of our world: current figures, evolution of the last decades, predicted evolution, what we can do to change things…

Fiou, landing out of that cloud isn’t easy, but you got to see magnificent flowers and architectural work.
