‘LISTENING TO TREES AND WATCHING THE LIGHT’
This model for designing with and around existing trees has examplary value and should be standard international practice.
ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY
Three years of tree preparatory work on a site is not profitable but it does demonstrate outstanding environmental awareness and commitment.
EXCELLENCE IN THE DETAIL
The detailing demonstrates excellence in the art and craft of landscape architecture and all the new planting and materials ensure longevity and low maintenance, which is essential in a time of extreme fiscal parsimony.
AN OASIS FOR THE EVERYDAY
The design does not aim to make a spectacle of itself, but simply strives to give an everyday space its own energy by injecting a sensual feel.
PERMEABILITY AS PARAMETER FOR SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
Zaubergarten is an extraordinary approach which pushes the idea of sustainable design beyond the usual by bringing the qualities of a garden to a dense urban educational environment where it is perhaps needed most.
