The vision for the vertical garden was to design a kit of parts that finds variation through the user assembly rather than a global rule set. Similar to children’s toys such as Lincoln Logs or Tinker Toys, the pieces cut from the sheet material can be constructed in many assemblies using a notching connection system. Though variation is seemingly infinite, we explored system growth horizontally and vertically as well as open and closed language for unit relationship. To reclaim control over sheet material, an inherently flat process and outcome, the primary piece of the system uses a dense cutting pattern to allow it to bend. In combination with smaller connecting pieces and the notch connection method, users can grow the vertical garden however may fit their needs.
