The project is situated in Samtskhe-Javakheti, near Ninotsminda municipality, adjacent to Gorelovka, covering 5000 square meters of characteristic Javakheti relief. It comprises a biological research laboratory and greenhouses dedi­ cated to studying, restoring, and propagating endemic species of old Samkhtskhe and various plants.

The architectural design harmoniously follows the region's relief, with the building on the natural slope. Vertical greenhouses grace the front side, while four blocks house research laboratories and spaces for student education.

The primary goal is to restore and increase endemic and rare species in Samtsakhe and Georgia, preserving biodi­ versity and fostering students' understanding of the local ecosystem for active participation in environmental conser­ vation.

The project's significance lies in Samtskhe-Javakheti, rich in natural heritage. Focusing on endemic species, the lab­ oratory preserves unique genetic resources adapted to local environments, enhancing resilience, and promoting sustainable practices in biodiversity conservation.

The laboratory serves as a crucial initiative for my country, popularizing endemic species characteristic of Samtsk­ he, which are now on the verge of extinction. Vertical greenhouses offer advantages, supporting research and con­ servation goals, and cultivating a diverse range of plants in limited space. My project strives to be a leading force in the region's environmental conservation and scientific advancements.
