Project 52 - 17/52: Mocha Dick

This week opens the gardens festival in Chaumont-sur-Loire. A major event for gardeners of course, and also for approaching from design to urbanism via architecture.


I can't remember a Chaumont's garden for the city but there are a lot of ideas for public spaces. I'ld like to see a way of collaborative garden in the public area!


The idea is to propose in the everyone accessibled public space (or in a district either a school)... a whale (you know the great white which inspired Melville's Moby Dick) carrying vegetables or flowers or aromates...


The principle is the same than ''green walls'': an organic substrate (possibly from local country as to push further the citizen participation) in a structure with aluminium and galvanized steel:


I think we could have 2 sizes, the big one (10x6ft) for public spaces and a small one (3x3ft) for apartments and schoolyards. A friend of mines has a garden in the festival this year.
