Two-stage competition by Museum of Architecture will seek ideas to showcase gardens’ work on climate change

The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew and Museum of Architecture have launched an international competition to design three treehouses that will be part of a major exhibition next year.

International architects working with the RBG around the world on biodiversity will directly commission the designs, which will be picked in two stages.
