Studio 2- Landscape Cylinders (Week 2)
Planting is an essential component of landscape architecture and it often involves practical skills, as well as working with other landscape materials such as water and soil. In this exercise, through designing an installation and configuring numerous different plants contained in acrylic cylinders, students will have the opportunity to learn basic planting skills and more importantly, develop their design experience by building an actual installation.
The variety of plants are selected for three different types of planting: aquatic, normal soil and sandy soil. Species such as Wallichii, Sansevieria trifasciata, Nepeta cataria, Cactaceae and Bryophyta are chosen for students to learn and experience different planting methods.
This installation design – how it is laid out and how cylinders containing different plants begins to relate to each other – should attract the general public to interact with the plants and to create interesting moments or viewing angles where the plants can be highlighted.
