Description
Fabricated landscape aims to examine the how fabricating process could help landscape designers to better understand the landscape in an imaginative and controllable approach. Through the experiment of fabricated landscape, this project tests how three different gestures, folding, bending, and drawing, could represent and interpret a landscape as an enclosed courtyard. This courtyard is 140’ by 140’ with walls and two entrances that connect to the interior space. In this courtyard, light gray bending fabric as a continuous flow moves through the site as a planter and seat wall. It divides but integrates the space with different functionalities. Dark gray mounts serve as secondary planting areas consolidating the courtyard in a natural and gentle atmosphere. The radial black strings are hung above and across the courtyard. They help to direct the vision in various functional areas and connect two entrances.
