This blog is an insight into my design process and interests.

Allowing exploration of anything that may aid my journey into becoming a landscape architect.

Chaumont Modal

Expanding on my Enchanted Kraken concept for the Chaumont submission, I have created a scaled (1:50) modal of my design.

The main creature, will be made of recycled chicken wire and dark glass bottles, with creeping plant varieties (ivy, honeysuckle) entwined with moss and hanging air plants.

There is a twisting path that leads the visitor, over and under the tentacles, symbolising the movement and struggle when in combat.

For an added element, there will be hanging rings, imitating the creatures suckers, what will be audible when hit, dangling from the overhead arms. This will engage the visitors within the garden.

Throughout will be rocks and crags for people to sit or climb over.

The planting should remain in a mottled green, blue and white.
