Crochet – a symbiotic relationship between technology and nature

The botanical garden is viewed as a part of a place placed in a new, foreign context. Taking inspiration from Narnia, entering an unexpected world through the wardrobes, each door and threshold takes the visitor into a new climatic environment.

In this project two typically opposing phenomena have been brought together to form a symbiotic relationship, where the servers give heat to the botanical garden and the botanical gardens provides protection for the servers.

The servers are located within the thick, impenetrable walls of the existing silos. Nature forms a protective layer around this as botanical wardrobes. A large green blanket covers the area.

Finding the symbiotic relationship between technology and nature; the servers gives heat to the botanical gardens, while the botanical gardens protect the servers.

technology shrinks, nature grows

Moat as means of protection

if built and nature are left, nature will take over

The first study trip went to Copenhagen where we visited Glyptoteket, the botanical gardens and kongernes lapidarium. The following weekend I went to Lund, Sweden, and visited their botanical garden and also the museum of sketches.

New semester – new studio. The brief is to transform these silos into a botannical garden. The old ammonia silos are located by the lillebelt bridge in Fredericia, DK.

Here are some images from the first site visit
