Somewhere during the week, I couldnt sit and work through my thesis cause I got bored, so I strayed towards a competition website and found this. I saw this competition few weeks back and had an idea lingering around but didnt have the time to pursue any further. As I realized how lazy I got for the pass few days, I started modeling my idea on Sketchup and follow it through. Although it took 2 days, it kept my brain going instead of tapping furiously on the keyboard to activate 'Wolf Rush' and 'Anti Air Shots' in Dragonica.
My design approach was to reflect on the continuous change that is happening towards the urban fabric. I was trying to look at how a garden might be able to adapt itself to the change of surroundings, owners/clients or trends. Hence, I came up with 'Flexi Garden'. If you look at a city from plan view, it is living painting that would never stop. My design was to provide a green canvas, that is capable of adapting itself constantly. It can be moved around to suit the site and being detach to fit smaller pockets around the city or a house garden.
It has wheels at the bottom to provide easy orientation towards a new area if needed. As a whole, the garden is 3.8m by 3.8m but when it is detached into 4 smaller components, it becomes 1.9m by 1.9m each. This way, we are not restricted to just a square but making a linear garden possible. There are sitting areas, and the narrow pathway is also intended for people to sit on. We can plant or put any ornaments depending on a persons taste, creating a unique flexi garden of your own.
