Around the World in 80 Gardens in a student design
compeon where they are given the task of design-

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.

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
beauty of both sides of the wall.

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.
