Garden Facade

Garden Facade
2012 Architecten gives us a great example of how to creatively use an area, that others might see as worthless, and give the community a beautiful, lively space!

The architects were asked to design a public artwork that would span the expanse of the building facade while repairs were made and a secondary building we constructed nearby. They responded with a “vertical garden” comprised of stacked potted plants nested within window frames.

Aside from the garden, the architects also installed two basketball courts and street furniture to flesh out the new public square.

Oh, all the wonderful possibilities with ixxi tiled wall art! Pixelated or enlargement. Fine art or photography. Collage or patterned.

I’d love to put together a collaged set, featuring our road trip… or my fav NY pictures… or maybe our prints… or Orignaux… I can’t choose!

Field Candy Tents
These tents from Field Candy are fashionable enough to camp inside your own home (which, to be honest, is really the only place I want to be camping)!

Film Biz Recycling
What a great idea!

Fostering relationships with NYC decision-makers in film, tv, theater, commercial, and other media production occupations to ensure excess materials are donated to Film Biz Recycling who will re-purpose or place for an extended life.

The Patient Gardener

The Patient Gardener

Stockholm-based VisionDivision conducted a week-long workshop at the Politecnico di Milano, in Milan, Italy, in which guest professors conducted an exploration for students to consider the impact of the fast-paced lifestyle on ecology and environmental issues in architecture. The result was “The Patient Gardener“, a structure consisting of ten Japanese cherry trees which is the main building material for the construction of a two-story retreat. bending, twisting, pruning and grafting will be used to control and develop the growth of the building over time. the trees, chosen because of the time of year and good suitability for the project, were planted around in an 8 meter diameter ring.

A simple maintenance plan and instructs will be passed on to future gardeners. the final result can be enjoyed on the campus within 80 years.
