Created with climbers, succulents and moss, the unique growth patterns of each plant type interweave with grid-like structures that consist of modular blocks, representing different microclimates through unified forms and atmosphere at various spots of Chi Wah Commons. In respect to the bookstore next to the installation, the form of these \u2018plant grids\u2019 also mimic that of bookshelves, suggesting the students\u2019 intention to store and breed the knowledge of nature, as much as how books show the aggregation of our knowledge on all things. In a broader sense, the project is an extension to promote greenery and sustainability at HKU \u2013 what landscape architecture has been always doing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Please be invited to come see our landscape installation:<\/p>\n<p>Landscape Installation: \u00a0 \u00a0Climate Jungle Grid Exhibition<\/p>\n<p>Venue: \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 HKU Campus, Chi Wah Learning Commons Lobby Exhibition<\/p>\n<p>Period: \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Aug 16 \u2013 25, 2016<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; As part of Career Discovery in Landscape Architecture (CDLA) 2016, the \u201cClimate Jungle Grid\u201d installation aims to fabricate microclimates originating from a variety of climate zones, displaying appreciation for harmony between human activities and nature.
