PLEASURE GARDEN

Base Elements

Generating Modules

The pleasure garden first emerged during the eighteenth to nineteenth centuries. It served a role as sites for public entertainment that typically integrated a wide range of spectacular attractions.

A contemporary version of the pleasure garden will need to assume an organizational and expressive form that provides a diversity of spaces to accommodate the communal activities and public life of the 21st century. In response to the above, this project proposes an interactive musical garden that offer immersive experiences to the visitors. The multilevel performing and learning spaces are deeply integrated with the landscape elements to enhance the sensory experiences.

It is aimed to providing places to learn and play, as well as places to relax and recuperate in peaceful surroundings.
