« Architectural Grafts » is the garden as becoming; as a contradictory process where trees are pierced by an artificial element – a « prosthesis » – to, as time goes time, incorporate this agression into its trunk. Awarded third place in a competition for built landscape design in Austria (Private Plots 2008), the jury thus (weirdly) considered the project: « Though an ethical understanding of plant treatment is irritating at first, the project communicates a new vocabulary for the investigation of gardens.
The ideas are both innovative and controversial, and embody great poetry. A pink curtain instead of a hedge sets new accents; it plays on the contrast between natural and unnatural elements. » Texte et photos via e-architect
