“The flower is a cosmic attractor, an ephemeral, unstable body that allows one to perceive - that is, to absorb - the world and to filter its more precious forms in order to be modified by it, to prolong one’s being there, in the place where its form would not know how to lead it.”  - Emanuele Coccia, The Life of Plants: A metaphysics of Mixture

​​

To engage the temporal and plural nature of flowers, the project employs layering and transparency as both representational and spatial strategies in the design of a greenhouse. The flower species were curated for their seasonal colors and densities, which interact amongst each other to conceive a greenhouse that is just as cyclical as the flowers themselves. 

​

The sensorial and psychological impact of floral forms and colors are explored through material and spatial arrangements that modulate light, shadow, porosity, and reflection. Superimposing a linear system of flower panels on organic tunnel paths that lead to inflated pods of intimate contemplation, the greenhouse creates dream-like spaces of exploration and projected individual realities.
