Transient Gardens

Carefully transforming the existing wild growing vegetation in site to a striking show of the other nature of urban spaces we will work with on site vegetation, materials we source form site and surroundings and gardening techniques as clustering, cutting and arranging. The plant transformation response will be sensitive, site specific and interactive to bike path users working with moiré patterns. A projection of alternative scenarios on site will tie the site into what we view as alternatives futures for Melbourne. We view the project as a chance to highlight the ephemeral nature and beauty of urban ecologies. 'Biodiversity is dependent on us, and we are dependent on it. Such diversity not only needs to be safeguarded, it needs to be established and looked after' -Gilles Clement. The transient garden will introduce small gestures that celebrate the biodiversity of urban voids.
