SKETCH DESIGN NOV 2006

This is the third sketch design of the semester: we were asked to pick up 4 words from a list and to present a design proposal based on those words. My words were volatile, deceptive, abstract and pop art.



The garden is surrounded by a wall and is divided in two sections: the woodland garden made of 4 existing hornbeams and many poles of corteen steel which look like tree trunks. The ground is covered in moss and underground pipes pump fog into the garden to give a misty atmosphere. The second section of the garden is made of red painted iron fragments mounted on poles, the fragments form the shape of a tree which can only be seen from the main entrance of the garden.



The garden is therefore volatile because it changes suddenly atmosphere from one section to the other, it is abstract because the corteen poles and the iron fragments form abstract patterns, it is deceptive because the foggy woodland garden gives the impression to be much bigger than it really is and it is inspired to pop art because the fragmented tree is based on Lichtenstein's dotted figures.
