Bordeaux Architectural Garden: Beauty meets Biodegradability
Jayaprashanth | Apr 10 2008


Twilight zone gets an all new meaning with the Bordeaux architectural garden. This beautiful structure is the creation of Arch Dreams in combination with Sphere. A perfect addition to a childrens park or even a kindergarten school, the Bordeaux architectural garden achieves a fascinating interplay between the indoors and outdoors with it’s enclosed green space which floods it’s interior with green light. Once inside, you will be transported into a silent dream world courtesy the structure’s sound filter. The Garden’s exoskeleton is made out of a metal frame which has ladders for kids to have a whale of a time.

The garden’s fronds will slowly sway with the wind making it look like a giant weeping willow. And all this, is courtesy the green drooping fronds which are made of a new age material called bio plastics. The Bioplastic is made by a food packaging company called Sphere, and believe it or not, is made out of starch potatoes and unlike all other plastics, these bioplastics are completely biodegradable, compostable and recyclable. All this happens naturally in less than 180 days which will certainly make the bioplastic the material of the future. Overall, a wonderful architectural design that embraces fascinating realism with excellent biodegradibility.
