After years of designing large scale installations, I’m still questioning, experimenting, and looking for different ways to approach the work.
That was the heart of my recent hands-on class at Longwood Gardens, where we explored traditional floral mechanics alongside more sustainable approaches.
Because before you build something big, there’s a lot to think about:
Concept. Space. Scale. Color. Flowers. Mechanics. Construction and everything in between!
And the mechanics? They’re not an afterthought. They’re part of the design.
There isn’t always one right way to build something. Sometimes the best place to start is simply by asking better questions.
And then… build. 💪💐💐💐
