I came across these designs which are very similar in form, shape, pattern and colour palette however the concepts and contexts differ entirely as they are, two separate projects.
Petra Blaisse, et al's Biblioteca degli Alberi, Milan
The park is intended to be an 'urban connector/ campus and botanical garden' with the paths acting as connections with varying heights, stretching across the square. Specific trees were chosen to reflect the 'botanical garden.'
In my view, the space looks and may feel disjointed and quite broken. The use of linear lines feels very formal and less community-friendly. I don't think the layout/ patterns responds to the site shape/ context. I believe it could have been a lot more creative and explored more patterns. The 'botanical garden' element feels like an after effect of tree placement rather than intentional as there does not seem to be many within the landscape.
Petra's inspiration derives from connection with a linear view and perspective change through heights.
