FLOATING GARDEN
London
REGENT’S PARK - Lake at Queen Mary’s Gardens - with Michela Pasquali and Sara Di Costanzo, landscape architects, and Veronica Montanino, artist. Underwater vegetation and wildlife in urban canals and rivers is becoming scarce. Floating Garden intends to raise public awareness about underwater vegetation and wildlife in urban water bodies and rivers. An archipelago of small floating islands create a new imaginative ecosystem. Floating wetlands activate the lake for new wildlife: improving water quality, providing benefits including: food and shelter for fish, frogs, and invertebrates; shading which reduces water temperatures and submerged weed growth; habitat for butterflies and birds. An archipelago of small floating islands will create a new ecosystem that mimic natural wetlands and activate the canal for new wildlife.
