Tree top walkway, Kew Botanical Gardens. The aerial walkway is 200m long and rises 18m above the ground. It navigates a densely wooded area within the gardens home to a diverse range of tree species. Fibonacci series governs the geometry for the walkways.

The structure is fabricated from 300 tonnes of Corten plate with galvanised expanded mesh forming the floor and side infill panels. The hand railing will be machined from wood supplied by Kew.
