I really love this picture of a botanical garden. It looks really magical.
My sketch model of the botanical garden I designed.
My interior of the building with the Geometric tree placed opposite the door.
My final design of the sketch model which I will use frosted acrylic to make with for the geometric tree.

The tree that i will place in the botanical gardens, will need to be geometric.
To get an idea of the location where my installation will be placed, I linked it to trees and decided that botanical gardens would be the perfect location. I looked at the biosphere in california and botanical gardens around the world.
Lucy Schofield's bibliography gave me the idea to create a space for reading. Ths space needs to be calm and a space where a person can escape from the rush of life.
I looked at Hayward galleries and their psycho buildings and found these installations done by the artists i looked at earlier. The above piece is totally different form anything you see in real life or the 'classical' styles of buildings.
This is anotheer piece I found done by the south bank artists. It is a telescope which is meant to run underground and as you look into the screen you can see people from New York looking back at you. It is in actual fact just a satellite link and a video you are looking at.
These are a few other installations by the Hayward Gallery,that I used for inspiration.
I like the idea of trees as a place for sitting and reading a book. They represent alot to do with purity,
calm, life, growth, strength, peace and happiness-the things we look for from reading books as a form of therapy. My original idea was of tree branches hanging from the ceiling and a person can sit on them.
I then looked at tree trunks as a hideout space where Lucy and her client can read together.
