热带温室和新的现场科学角位于科英布拉的阿尔塔镇。它们属于大学的植物园，由庞巴尔侯爵于1772年建造。热带温室于1859年建成，是葡萄牙最早的铁制建筑的例子之一，其参考是英国的邱园温室。对温室的干预包括恢复和复原现有的结构，并为植物的生长和空间的使用（即接待来访）实施合适的技术解决方案。这些条件意味着新的遮阳和通风手段，以保证适当的湿度和水分水平，以及进入建筑内部的机会。
The Tropical Greenhouses and the new on-site Science Corner are located in the high town of Alta de Coimbra. They belong to the University’s Botanical Garden built in 1772 by the Marquis de Pombal. The Tropical Greenhouses, completed in 1859, are one of the first examples of iron architecture in Portugal, their reference being the Kew Gardens greenhouses in England. The intervention in the greenhouses involved restoring and recuperating the existing structures and implementing suitable technical solutions for the growth of the plants and for the use of the space, namely for receiving visits. These conditions implied new shading and ventilation means, to guarantee the appropriate hygrometric and moisture levels and access to and within the building.
温室修复中影响最大的措施之一是恢复原来的内部/外部关系，并通过去除增加玻璃表面不透明和重量的粉刷，恢复垂直表面和屋顶的玻璃透明度。为了取代以前通过粉刷实现的温度和光线控制系统，采用了新的夹层透明玻璃，并在内部安装了遮阳网。这一措施纠正了热调节、防晒和空间安全方面的不足，导致了温室形象的彻底改变，现在根据季节的变化呈现出不同的配置。
One of the measures with the greatest impact in the rehabilitation of the greenhouses was recovering the original interior/exterior relation and reinstituting the transparency of the glass on the vertical surfaces and the roof by removing the whitewashing that had added opacity and weight to the glazes surfaces. To replace the previous system of temperature and light control achieved through whitewashing, new laminated transparent glass was applied, with interior shading screens. This measure serves to correct the deficient thermal regulation, solar protection, and security of the space, leading to a radical alteration in the image of the greenhouses, which now present a distinct configuration depending on the seasons.
中央翼相当于参观温室的一个特殊时刻，因为它有非常高的天花板，并且有一个与上层一起的画廊。为了加强其特殊性，花坛被拆除，取而代之的是一个大池塘，在里面种植维多利亚-亚马逊，一种来自亚马逊河流域的巨大睡莲品种。池塘的内衬是黑色的钢板，以强调水面的镜面效果。
The central wing corresponds to a singular moment in the visit to the greenhouses, given its very high ceiling and the existence of a gallery along with the upper level. To reinforce its exceptional character, the flowerbeds were removed and replaced with a large pond in which to grow Victoria Amazonia, a species of a giant water lily from the Amazon River basin. The pond is lined with black-painted steel plates to emphasize the mirrored surface of the water.
与新的维多利亚池塘一样，现场的科学角也是在温室旁边从头开始建造的，以接收基础设施和新项目。为了回归传统的凉亭，这个建筑有一个花园式的屋顶，采用木石结构和木质板条百叶窗。
As with the new Victoria Pond, the on-site Science Corner was built from scratch next to the greenhouses to receive infrastructures and a new program. Harking back to the traditional cool houses, this building has a garden roof with a wood and stone structure and wood slatted shutters.
