Stutchbury's project
When a garden occupies the ethos of a horre It brings additional life. If the future of housing can be alongside the future of survival gardens are mandatory. Our ambition is to initiate a park which can be occupied. Communities are interdependent and gardens are the common language those who cannot afford a room in the garden still access to the pleasures and benefits the community garden is not a plot of land on the edge of town-it is the town. Our houses bear a fascinating parallel with Mr Cerda's 1860 Urban proposal for Barcelona however they intensify the relationship with garden. The houses are repetitive prefabricated forms constructed efficiently in any one of the countless configurations - to be added to or subtracted from as required.
People must learn to share, the success of the community reflects their ability to co-ordinate between themselves, gardens represent the future. Our scheme is considered not in isolation but as a coalescence of natural elements (fauna and flora) to form a whole.
If the future is to survive, food and water are responsibilities. Our proposal collects and manages water and produces food – land is accessible and can be leased from the keepers, people congregate and produce according to demand, the houses are subtle and singular however the garden is in the hands of those who care. A central tree identifies the occupants, and a sophisticated rooftop greenhouse provides oxygen & heat or cool to those below.
