Around the World in 80 Gardens in a student design

compeon where they are given the task of design-

ing an open space for the 2013 Internaonal Garden

Show in Hamburg.

Of the 80 gardens that will be on display, 10 of these

will be selected from the student compeon en-

trants.

The selected exhibion site is larger than 100 hect-

ares, with the theme of the Garden Show being aimed

to appeal to and full the modern requirements of

a mobile, health conscious, and internaonal urban

society.

The exhibion is expected to be one of the largest

tourist aracons for Hamburg, with more than 2

+ Interpretingthewall as a structurefor innovation.

Walls aredefinedby many different forms andmaterials.

However,symbolismresidesin howthese structuresoperate.

We build walls around, through and between cul-

tures. This symbol is globally recognised as a barrier

or a divider, for many walls are a physical form that

dictates how day to day life is played out.

The wall has played a fundamental role in dieren-

ang groups of people into cultures, generangunique idenes on either side of these monolithic

structures.

In some respects, walls are a man-made variaon of

the Earths natural surface separang cultures and

forcing them to develop dierently from their neigh-

bour.

Walls exhibit a parcular monotone quality. They

have become the genesis for jealousy, economic ad-vantage and control of the surrounding environment.

SPRING+ First blossoming of garden.

+ Cottonwood tree hasnt reached

its vibrant golden colour.

+ Garden is slowly beginning to flower, exhibiting

a gradient of green colour along the flow line.

+ The moss specimens (acquired locally ) begin to

slowly shift colour according to the l ighting effects

produced by the wall.

01/072013

SUMMER+ The garden is in full blossom, the

green is overun by masses of white

flowering. This varied display of white

flowers symbolically represent the force that

individuals are able to create when working

towards a common goal.

+ The moss continues to change colour in particular

locations along the wall in accordance with the sun

shitfing in rotation and temperature increase.

30/10/13

AUTUMN+ The garden now experiences i ts most

spectacular time as the cottonwood tree

turns its vibrant autumn colours.

This, in composition with the soft pink foliage

of the Princess trees, produce interesting

air-born and ground covering colour as the

leaves fall away due to the approaching winter.

+ The steady drop in temperature allows the

moss to develop a fantastic spectrum ofgreens along the wall, producing an

excellent backdrop to the rest of the garden.

30/10/13

5 YEARS ON...+ The moss establishes itself in conditioned positions along

the wall, slowly spreading across the cl adding system.

+ The trees, which are able to cope with the European climate

continue to grow and control the site.

drasc deance acons that are intended to make

a statement, acons with seemingly lile thought.

From this stems smaller, yet just as powerful demon-

straons, carefully targeted at the community rather

than the overarching body. Intended to begin the pro-

cess of change. In the mean me, we start to queson

the glimmers of informaon that begin to slowly seepthrough the wall the wall now begins its transforma-

on, slowly the barrier disgures unl ulmately the

wall generates its own path and cross-over locaons.

This informs a subtle roll or ow of change. As an individ-

uals direcon is taken up by those who surround them.

In turn inuencing other clusters, whilst who are dier-

ent - are now progressing along with the ow. What can

be achieved when the typical form of the wall is manipu-

lated with? What does this allow us to do? How does

this shi its typical qualies as a barrier? How does thisinuence how we perceive the social construcons of

culture? Ideas blended, cultures merged unveiling the

to exist?

The milk crate [an Australian container for the distri-

buon of milk] has been taken as a simple module to

express the individuals that make up cultural diver-

sity. The form also references pixels, symbols of our

modern society, driven by communicaon and tech-nology. Through the use of the module we wish to

express our understanding of diversity as individuals

having shared values that are shaped by experiences.

The milk crate is expressed through a series of spaal

morphologies stacks, topographies, vessels - and is

further dierenated through colour and seasonal

vegetaon, light and temperature changes. With

each layer a new level of complexity is represented.

The site is itself then seen as a symbol of culturaldiversity seeking to understand the experience of di-

versity and culture through spaal dierenaon and

experience.
