Project Description

FROM THE FIRM:

HARRISON GREEN’s
design concept plays with the idea of the pixelated image and how this can be
translated into a built landscape at a micro and macro scale. By working
through a series of gridded pixel patterns, HARRISON GREEN was able to design a
sustainable, low maintenance and low weight-bearing installation, engaging the
viewer perspective by manipulating height, pattern and textural elements.
Through the use of a strict grid, 24-inch square artificial buxus were arranged
to create a layered tapestry of green. The planters, situated at various
heights, created a multi-level design spanning 3400 sq. feet, where elements
appear to change depending on the scale at which the installation is viewed.
HARRISON GREEN’s design was built to withstand challenging elements of urban
environments while creating a sophisticated landscape, complimenting the Roof
of the International Style Building at any view.
