A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The Tectonic Gardens initiative focuses on small, unremarkable, and often forgotten places adjacent to the lives of underserved people. Located in the boundary between architecture and landscape, these projects seek to create experiential delight out of small-scale design opportunities. Through the adaptive reuse and recycling of leftover urban space, Tectonic Gardens augment and enhance existing building infrastructures with new, primarily outdoor spaces that provide pragmatic functions, promote play, and exhibit a social and environmental conscience.
