在2003年1月毁灭性的火灾之后，当地政府提议在基址上建立一个具有国际影响力的国家级植物园，占地约250公顷，距离首都堪培拉市中心6公里左右，位于博雷格里芬湖西部。当地政府于2004年举行了一次国际设计竞赛。堪培拉国家植物园重新定义了21世纪公共花园的意义，它将来自世界各地100多种濒危树种聚集在了这惨遭大火蹂躏的250公顷土地上。可持续性是一个日益受到瞩目的现实问题，怎么样在设计的同时保持生物多样性和注重公共环境问题，都是这个国家植物园需要考虑的，因而整个设计需要注重整个系统，而不单纯的只基于美学。

100多种植物组成的森林不仅为大众提供了一个独特的体验乐园，感受被森林笼罩的感觉，它同时也是一座未来种子银行。基地地形的设计，运用了元素对比的手法，设计了充满戏剧性的地形。在森林的空地，形成了一组对比的空间体验场所，它们和一些运动设施相互补充，形成了一个整体。这些空间丰富了游客的体验，提供了一个深入了解植物的机会。随着它在未来的发展，国家植物园将与世界各地建立起联系，进行信息的交互以及植物材料的交流，并将整个植物园基于生态和艺术性进行再生设计，扭转生物多样性下降这一趋势。

In 2004 following devastating fires in January 2003 and inspired by Griffins’ vision for the National Capital, the ACT Government developed a proposal for an International Arboretum to be established on a 250 hectare site six kilometres from the centre of Canberra, at the western side of Lake Burley Griffin. In 2004 the ACT Government held an international design competition.

The National Arboretum Canberra redefines the meaning of a public garden in the 21st Century. It comprises 100 forests of endangered tree species from around the world on a 250 hectare former fire ravaged site.Growing out of the very real issues of sustainability, biodiversity and public environmental concern, the National Arboretum is a strategy, a program and an ongoing event, not a design chiefly based on aesthetics.

The 100 forests not only provide a unique experience – the pleasure of being enveloped in a forest of one species – but are also seed banks for the future. Each holds a viable population to preserve vulnerable and endangered species. The topography of the site informs the planning, with elements contrasting and harmonizing with the dramatic landform – nature and culture in juxtaposition. The 100 Forests, Clearings, Central Valley and Gardens form a set of contrasting spatial experiences and activity settings that complement each other to form a cohesive whole. Woven into the topography and purpose of the site, these spaces offer the Arboretum visitor a rich array of opportunities to experience and explore the significance of trees, plants and gardens in the contemporary world.

As it develops into the future, the National Arboretum will build links across the world, an exchange of knowledge and actual plant material that will work towards reversing the planet’s loss of biodiversity.Artwork as well as ecology is a significant part of the Arboretum, based on the themes of regeneration on which the design is based.The National Arboretum is a place of unequalled beauty and relevance, rich in both experiences and ideas.
