CityZen Garden
West Palm Beach, FL, United States
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2018
SIZE
10,000 sqft - 25,000 sqft
The CityZen Garden is a public park in Downtown West Palm Beach for active neighbourhood gatherings, as well as a contemplative area for more passive meditative activities. The park offers a series of meditative outdoor spaces for collective and individual conscious. It is a needle of urban acupuncture tuning the mechanical city towards the organic, cooling the self-infected stress and industrial fiction.
Carefully planted bamboo, trees, bushes, creepers, flowers, water elements and ground vegetation create a pleasant micro-climate in this post-urban oasis. The park generates small winds to cool of the thin layers of asphalt and concrete of the surrounding city baking in the hot Florida sun.
Post-urban meditation is led by Dudali, infrastructural humanoid made out of copper water pipes.
The park consists of a round outdoor piazza/amphi as a stage for talks, gatherings and performances, of three wooden pavilions for smaller gathering and of a fish-shaped stone-garden made out of recycled broken glass. The head of the fish is a small sheltered wooden platform with a small water fountain in the eye. Fish is real.
