We are embarking on the design competition of an olfactory garden, a unique sensorial experience that focuses on stimulating and engaging the sense of smell.
The garden will be a carefully curated space where visitors can explore and appreciate a diverse range of fragrances in a harmonious natural setting. The primary objective of the project is to create an immersive environment that celebrates the olfactory sense, providing visitors with a memorable and enchanting experience.
Deliverables:
- Conceptual Design: Develop a visual concept that illustrates the layout, pathways, and key features of the olfactory garden. This should include the arrangement of plants, seating areas, and any additional structures or installations.
- Plant Selection: Identify a curated collection of plant species that will contribute to a diverse fragrance palette. Consider factors such as seasonal variations, compatibility, and maintenance requirements.
- Material and Structural Recommendations: Propose suitable materials for pathways, seating areas, and any other built elements within the garden. Ensure that these materials align with the overall aesthetic vision and environmental sustainability goals.
- Interpretive Elements: Design and recommend interpretive signage, audio guides, or interactive displays that will enhance the educational aspect of the garden. These should provide information about the plants, scents, and other relevant topics.
- Drawings: Plans, sections, elevations, axonometric views, rendered views (based on your design req.).
