Urban Gardens in Context.

Within the bubble structures that we are proposing, Urban Jungle (Gym) wants to create urban gardens that provide a natural space for people to relax in and enjoy. Although there are already a few existing parks around the city, none of them are directly within the CBD. By introducing these urban gardens into the CBD, it would bring people closer to nature. Community Gardens would also be implemented so that the public can grow and harvest fruit and vegetables within the city that would be shared amongst the people.

The purpose of the plant experiment was to show how over time, the plants would grow and become one with the bubble structures. The images from the experiment represent the aesthetic quality of what the urban gardens could become in an abstract way.
