Terra sets an international example for sustainable building design and is built to be net-zero for both energy and water. Designed by Grimshaw Architects, its impressive features include 1,055 photovoltaic panels arranged on a 130-metrewide roof canopy and a mini forest of ‘Energy Trees’. Terra tour highlights include an interactive walk through the roots of a forest where every footstep affects the ‘wood-wide web’.

Allowing visitors to explore the hidden harmful impacts of our choices, the emotive experience is designed to encourage all ages to consider how their behaviour affects the environment, empowering them to become agents of change.
