LAYOUT AND SECTION

the garden | THE ODYSSEY is more than a structure of a garden or landart in simple, it is the journey itself, both the physical movement and in spiritual context. It offers to visitors the experience of discovery, a freedom of movement, and the observation of nature in a familiar but spontaneous and unexpected way. The garden is a strange mix of the artificial and natural world, large square frames covered by neon paints surrounding the existing vegetation, also means as an ornament or revival from human view. The tension between astounding structure and the coloures and organic shapes of nature is the one that excite visitors to walk across, to discover and play, to encounter and contemplate, to take part or just enjoy the moment. The lights of fluorescent neon paint coatings also create some special ambient, exceptional coulisse, particularly at night, with an option to host playful visitors at specific events. Odyssey
