Landscape Architect? Yep. Love Plants? Yep. What would be best in my garden? Erm

Back to the design Museum

Design museum- ZAHA HADID- beautiful drawings and 3d pictres, some impressive work in quantity and quality, however not too keen on the techno approach to human spaces! And graphic designers- not as amazing as Fletcher who blew our socks off in a previous exhibition!

We were all in a daze after the Blind Light box, it was the most dramatic, stunning & interactive art I have experienced! The 'Blind light' box was made from glass & filled with steam- one became short sighted, & could only hear the people a meter away, when almost touching other people become visible through the white mist.

Allotment was a part of the exhibition which consisted of concrete blocks based around social groups, individuals, their form & personalities were expressed through the size & composition of the concrete. You could join a group of elderly blocks or stand with the a lonely child.

The Berlin Holocaust Memorial ( although having an utterly different meaning) has a similar presence:
