DYNAMIC EXPLORATION

This project was an exercise in designing a conceptual landscape from scratch that embodied an assigned adjective. This project explores how to create a sculpture park landscape that responds the word Dynamic through topography, plant selection, and pathway. Each element supports the concepts of change, activity, variety, and progress, taking visitors on a journey through the site to the sculpture.

Path Plants

Topography

The topography of the site is an abstraction of a wavelength, fluctuating between ridge and valley to emulate movement and variety. The site experience changes depending on the way one decide to navigate, creating a dynamic experience.

Plants And Path

The pathway and tree placement contrasts the undulating topography by following a linear, perpendicular path around the site. The distance between the pavers responds to the rise and fall of the slope and trees line the path, with intentional gaps highlighting important views and creating both enclosed and open spaces.
