Boustrophedon Garden

植物建筑师：2009年，植物被邀请为魁北克市为期一年的400周年庆典设计11个临时花园之一。Boustrophedon Garden将魁北克省区域长地块系统和Samuel De Champlain早期农业试验和记录的想法结合在一起，以创造一个三维景观“布料”，记录经纬向的生长和变化。在这里，公众可以仔细观察夏季期间记录的生长和开花的变化模式。
PLANT Architect: In 2009, PLANT was invited to design one of eleven Ephemeral Gardens for Québec City’s yearlong 400th anniversary festival. Boustrophedon Garden weaves together ideas from Québec’s regional long-lot system and Samuel De Champlain’s early agricultural experimentation and recordings in order to create a three-dimensional landscape “cloth” that registers growth and change in its warp and weft. Here, the public is able to scrutinize changing patterns of growth and bloom recorded over the course of the summer months.

Boustrophedon Garden

花园被设想成一幅真人大小的图形。该场地的长度是一个时间轴，嵌入了一个木质日历，以周为单位标记花园节的持续时间。一排排不同的蔬菜和草药贯穿整个花园，每一排都有一套相应的架空绳索。每周，植物的高度测量和花园的照片被拍摄下来，并永久记录在三维花园日历上。架空线被拉下并加权，以标记重要的生命周期事件，如开花和收获时间，从而形成一个三维图形。就像园丁的日记一样，收集观察结果是为了期待明年的花园得到改善。整个夏季，记录的数据和植被的复杂性和数量都在不断增加，这些数据和植被开始吞噬游客，同时与在其生长轨迹中不断变化的植物进行对话。随着植物的枯萎，水果和蔬菜的收获，真人大小的日历仍将是一本花园日记。
The garden is conceived as a life-size graph. The site’s length is an axis of time with an embedded wood calendar marking the duration of the garden festival in weekly increments. Rows of different vegetables and herbs run the length of the garden, each with a corresponding set of overhead ropes. Each week, plant height measurements and a photograph of the garden are taken and permanently recorded on the three-dimensional garden calendar. Overhead lines are pulled down and weighted to mark significant life cycle events such as bloom and harvest time, making a three dimensional graph. Much like a gardener’s journal, observations are gathered in anticipation of improving next year’s garden. Increasing in complexity and volume throughout the summer, recorded data and vegetation proceed to engulf the visitor, while creating a dialogue with the plants that continue to change during their growth trajectory. As the plants die back and the fruit and vegetables harvested, the life-size calendar will remain as a garden journal.
