Jaffa Park

flowing shapes for flowing thoughts

 

When contemplating, thoughts come and go, they flow naturally, and so does Jaffa Park. Nature becomes a wall, a wall becomes a building, and a building gradually becomes nature.

 
 

The design balances between being landscape and architecture, an installation and a building, or between the natural and the artificial. It is transient and changes over time. There is no end-of-life, and so is permanent, a dynamic permanence.

 
 

For Jaffa Park, I distinguished a variety of interventions, namely, plants. pads, fences, walls, seats, installations and a pavilion. These are in chronological order from landscape to more architectural defined interventions.
