The Garden of the Beasts

The Garden of the Beasts is a proposal for the creation of a new children's garden at Hampton Court Palace. The team communicated their ideas through innovative design and vision. They used hand drawings but also embraced film while exploring other mediums of communication such as model making and revenue branding. These were used not just as marketing tools but as part of the design process. The use of animation demonstrates its untapped potential as a communication tool for landscape architects.
