Competition: Redesigning a garden

Journal Entry: Wed Sep 8, 2010, 9:50 PM
I won last year's competition with this plate [link]

This year's problem is to redesign 2 old gardens in our architecture building
prize is $2000
and I have 109 hours left.  

any far-out suggestions?

abstract can deal with representation of a typical garden.
actual garden will need plants
it should be relaxing, at least
close to nature
a garden inside a concrete building

hmmactually, i dont know if i should hear suggestions now. it would be weird and confusing.

i have a design in mind but it might be too sci-fi. :)

Yeah, I know I might be a little late and maybe it's also not my place to say something, BUT!
I was thinking, maybe you could put in your own inside-windows and tiny waterfalls or at least water fountains?
Water gives everything a rather balanced look and has a relaxing effect I think. Just a thought. :)

go with the sci-fi idea. your previous one was "too sci-fi" but, remember, it won ;)

how about some plants on the walls? they can grow up even if they're planted down (well, my bad english don't leaves me to write mi idea XD)

Anyway, good luck :D

I wish you good luck. I'm sure you'll probably win this one too. If you don't, I WILL be thoroughly shocked...but then again, shit happens :/

I would go for a kinda modern western style but with asian influence...if that makes any sense...I just thought it sounded cool |D /shot

if you have an idea go for it
i'm sure your idea would be fantastic even if it was very sci-fi

I will see if I can try to find gardening books in library tomorrow. On the other hand, should you do relaxing, gardens, you can always use the persian/islamic/spanish garden concept or the eastern/chinese garden concept. :O_o:

true. it needs a theme somehow. ill look it up.

hmm
this garden is really tight, and there are exhaust pipes EVERYWHERE

like building a garden inside a factory

If there are that many pipes, I would think about using vines to grow around them...
Just my thoughts.

Is anything off-limits? Can it be as impossible as you want it to be, or does it have to be a realistic design?
