Roaming Forest Prototype
The prototypes have been fabricated for the Roaming Forest. Yael Bar Maor has been coordinating the realization of the project while providing an essential local knowledge. There will be some tweaking of the design following the prototypes and testing.
This project is a collaboration with Yael Bar Maor and Mike Dring. Selected for the Biennale of Landscape Urbanism, the Roaming Forest is an exploration of adaptation and temporality in the public realm of the city.
