Allyear
Project Proposal for an International Garden Festival

Architecture installation design
Inspired by the vibrancy and tactility of the surrounding flowery landscape during the warmer months, Allyear Installations wants to bring a feeling of color through visual exploration and touch to the colder months of Les Jardins de Metis Park. The curved structure of the installation playfully reaches up to the sun, inviting everyone to come closer and experience a flower-like field atmosphere. Circle openings provide a playful discovery experience, inviting everyone to engage with the installation by crawling and climbing. The tactile materials and color of soft stretched ropes invite dynamic navigation through exploration and touch.
Planted garden beds around and inside the Allyear include high grass and native flowers that blend the installation with the surrounding landscape during warmer seasons. In the winter, Allyear stands on a background of a less color-vibrant landscape, bringing a little bit of flower-like qualities to the park during the winter.
