Study Nature, Love Nature, Stay close to Nature... It will never fail you. - Frank Lloyd Wright

Dark Rift - Oglo + PPil





There is a constant battle between good and bad, light and dark, the Natural and the Artificial, which is emphasized in the French Architects '2nd Public Prize in the Ponte de Lima International Garden Festival in Portugal.'

"Cyclones, earthquakes, seism, and burn down, break suddenly their work which crushes, collapses, burns off. Linear, homogenous and fruitless chaos both tears apart and moves closer nature and craft.

Chaos’ constant, inexorable and infinite strength appears through the horizontality of the dark fault, it represents the zero point, which is the reference level. Our garden aims to show the superiority of the chaos in front of natural and artificial."

Using arranged Perennial herbs, and randomly spread chaos, using curved forms, vs sharp edgy corners, this 'spit' of land perfectly emphasizes man's constant struggle against chaos, as we try and use the natural form to distract us.
