Archipelago
Show Garden for ITLs
This enchanting show garden, selected for the Suncheon International Garden Fair from April to October 2023, captures coastal scenery inspired by South Korea's South Sea. Using sand for concept modeling and laser scanning for topographical design, it highlights the coastline's natural beauty and showcases innovative garden design. This fusion of art, technology, and nature invites visitors to immerse in the beauty and creativity of landscape architecture, embodying the harmony between nature and human ingenuity.

Unique Properties
This show garden, chosen as the artist's garden for the Suncheon International Garden Fair taking place from April to October 2023, was designed around the theme of coastal scenery. Drawing inspiration from the coastal and island forms of the South Sea of South Korea, we used sand to conduct concept modeling and express the topography of the coast. This was then followed by a topographical design process using laser scanning.

Production Technology
This project introduced an art psychotherapy course featuring a virtual client. The designs were initially inspired by creations made using sand. This sand-derived artwork served as the starting point for the design process. The design lines for the concept were extracted through laser scanning of the sand model. Subsequently, shapes were realized via laser CNC processing, which enabled the expression of irregular lines inherent in the sand model. This work utilized 3D laser scanning technology and precision laser CNC technology.
Design Challenge
In the process of assembling each shape, which was cut with precision by CNC, difficulties arose due to unforeseen field conditions.
Project Duration
22/9/2022~17/3/2023, Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, Republic of Korea
Operation Flow
It would be better if we focused on the form of each part of the work through the creation of a sense of space.
Research
The process unfolds as follows: We employ sand, a highly mutable material, to craft a topographic model. The resulting creative terrain models are then examined using a laser scanner. In this case, we utilized a Leica RTC 360 for the 3D laser scanning. The scanning results yield contour lines generated through three-dimensional modeling work using software tools like Cyclone, Rhino, and AutoCAD. These produced contours are well-prepared for utilization in the subsequent stages of the design process.
Inspiration
'Inspired by the coastal scenery of the South Sea of South Korea, the installation art piece was meticulously designed.
