KOREAN GARDENS TRADITIONAL TYPOLOGY
A contemporary garden proposal based on Korean traditional garden principles is brought into the Royal Botanic Gardens to provide a space to house the vast range of East-introduced flora; as there is already spaces that cater for Western-inspired gardens, such as the ‘New Zealand Collection’ and ‘Australian Walk’ spaces.
As Australian society moves toward emphasis on multiculture, the gardens are an opportunity to celebrate underrated typologies and principles that have not been implemented before in Melbourne.
The garden also provides a rest and reprieve area for those who walk further from the Terrace Cafe and simple want a change of pace, an atmosphere that is closed off from the bustling public vibe.
The boundary of the proposed garden design was determined by the placement of the lake and surrounding facilities.
It is positioned adjacent to the Terrace Cafe and also considers the gradient slope toward the east, which tends to be avoided by users due to its steepness.
