pruned on under spaces

Pruned’s recent series Under Spaces (part one, part two, part three) is very good — I’m particularly enamored with Hans Herrmann’s Public Domain and the Dispersed City, his thesis project from Clemson University, which inserts an urban park beneath Atlanta’s “Spaghetti Junction“, mostly because I think the notion that the space of the park would be continually redefined by “shifting vegetation.. a carefully maintained program of plantings” is pregnant with possibility, the landscape equivalent of a building whose doors are in different places everytime you return to it, brought to life by a staff of surrealist gardeners.
