THE RYEGRASS PAVILION
Grassland Trimira Garach 20379218 12/06/2012 Drawing 1 of 2
The experience of this botanical garden begins with a walk through a narrow retail space in which various products whose ingredients are derived from grasses are for sale. As the visitor spends more and more time in the garden, the process by which grass ends up on the shelf is deconstructed little by little until all that is left is to experience the grass within an existing habitat on the island. The project aspires to guide visitors through a series of grass ecosystems by exposing them to one grass species at a time. This is achieved through the use of single species pavilions, in which one species is grown, a relevant artifact from the research and development department is displayed, and a view of the grass within an existing diverse habitat is framed. Once visitors have completed their steadily less structured tour of the artificial island, they may choose to visit the research department or the library and archive, eat at the cafe, or simply relax in the gardens.
