The Culiacan Botanical Garden was created by the engineer Carlos Murillo over 30 years ago. 6 years ago, the president of the board that manages this botanical garden in the middle of the city, decided to make it a point of reference both for the local and international community. Thus, six years ago began an ambitious project that beyond strengthening the garden’s collection, includes the installation of 35 works of art and a set of 15 small pavilions that will provide services to the garden and its new art program. Botanically, the aim of the project is to maintain its global collection and enrich it with species of high biological and ethnobotanical value. The garden seeks to become an institution of reference in terms of conservation and research of flora from northwest Mexico, especially flora with a certain conservation status and high ethnobotanical value. To highlight its ecological character, the Environmental Operations Studio (TOA) was invited to make an environmental and landscape project. The botanical intervention carried out to date has positioned the garden as the main collector nationwide of two species: palms and bamboos, and in a few years will make it into a world leader.

The project Architype-UNARTE responds to the need of the university to expand workshops / study rooms and an art gallery.
