Temple of nature

UACEG - University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, Sofia, Bulgaria

Project idea

This project is inspired by the efforts made for the protection of the natural environment and the natural habitat of flora and fauna. The settlements are growing at a very fast pace and the connection of more and more people with nature is broken, they live detached from it. The need for the natural component in the anthropogenic environment has been known for a long time and this proposal offers a new interpretation of vertical landscaping.

Project description

"Temple of nature" is an installation that can be located in places threatened by the unreasonable destruction of the environment and its resources, for example in densely built-up urban centers, in virgin forests that are being cut down, in areas for mining, etc. Some of these cloud gardens are accessible to visitors as places for rest and observation or for spending the night in a tent under the open sky, while others remain inaccessible on purpose.

Technical information

The structure consists of pylons on which are attached horizontal platforms on which vegetation grows. The accessible platforms are serviced by a lift platform.
