CASE STUDIES

Gilles Clément developed this garden for the Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac in France, which is part of the museum. Gilles Clément intended this garden to be a land of freedom for plants, in contrast to the disciplined French gardens. Here, nature flourishes under the guidance of the gardeners. There are no pesticides or herbicides: "weeds" are welcome, and there are no tropical plantations that require expensive and polluting maintenance. The garden is an "invitation to travel": walkways, little hills, river stone-paved paths, basins suitable for meditation and reverie (Garden exploration Guide, n.d.).

I aimed to establish a more comfortable and balanced relationship between humans and non-humans, creating more connected habitats. I appreciate the free growth of plants that grow without careful care and have an unintentional beauty. I want to advocate plants at different scales, from small scale waterfront gardens to large scale entire dock areas, following a consistent nature-based planting principle.

Stewardship in Landscape Architecture

as "taking responsibility for and management of the landscape through master planning, design, recycling, conservation, regeneration, and restoration" (AILA, 2013). In today's world, stewardship can represent a variety of things, including serving and managing. It entails keeping track of the large-scale interactions between natural and cultural systems (Weller, 2014).

The stewardship hypothesis is related to the current global biodiversity crisis.

Richard Weller discusses the significance of stewardship in the contemporary context and the extent to which landscape architects are involved in the stewardship process. It is also supported by the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA), which defines it

The diagram above shows how I envision the KGVD to appear in 2047-2077, with the design and ongoing stewardship the site will be nicely absorbed into the urban fabric then. There is less industrial land and more commercial land and green space, and the site's surroundings will become more ecologically sustainable.
