HOW CAN ARCHITECTURAL AND STRUCTURAL INNOVATIONS, SUCH AS TENSEGRITY FRAMEWORKS, ENHANCE THE FUNCTIONALITY AND APPEAL OF A COMMUNAL GARDEN IN A DENSE URBAN CONTEXT?
Good shared space is hard to find in a densely populated world. The solution to this becomes a two-tiered communal garden that serves as a testament to sustainability, the preservation of life, and community support through individual and collective enlightenment. The design aims to inspire and encourage people to embrace nature in their lives by actively participating in gardening and immersing themselves in outdoor experiences. By providing a communal garden space, the design fosters a sense of belonging and shared responsibility for nurturing the environment. The garden features a collection of tensegrity structures that support walking platforms through the garden.
