Architectural Grafts
Located at Vila del Rey house, “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 aggression into their trunk. Awarded third place in a competition for built landscape design in Austria (Private Plots 2008), the jury thus (weirdly) considered the project.
