Bloom: Atmospheric Infra(Structure)
Type
Bloom:NYC is a botanical
garden that displays the morphological shifts in plant forms as a way to highlight
the mutual affects of plants and their environments.
Taking its cues from the
linear programming of the newly planted highline that runs through the site,
Bloom:NYC imparts its own linear logic which defines the structural system and
the gradation of planting. Apparently in opposition to the highline with which
it connects, the structural system of the botanical garden slows the highline
at its end by reinforcing the repetitive rhythm of the industrial relic. Adjusting
itself in scale and density along the length of the site, the structure responds
to the change in span as well as plants defined in the pockets below. The gradation
in color reinforces the experience by emphasizing the gradation of climatic
zones while also opposing (and thereby enhancing) the colors native to the
species of plants within different climatic regions.
The pockets integrated within
the structural formation of the botanical garden serve as a way to curate water
flow throughout the landscape depending on specific needs of the plants. A
water retention basin at the base of the system collects and re-circulates
water collected from the structure through a system of channels sized
specifically for the different plant regions.
The result is a responsive
infrastructural system that serves the needs of plants from all parts of the
world by mitigating light and water in a way that reinforces the climatic
impact on the morphology of plants. The glass structure reflects the synthetic
climate-altering capability of the greenhouse typology while attempting to
create a more natural system for light and water mitigation. In the end, the
plants are allowed to take the forefront of the design, growing and
overwhelming the (infra)structure that supports them.
