Garden design is a process of becoming, evolving into an arrangement that connects with the world. Drawing from the theory of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, the concept of "becoming-garden" is likened to a rhizome. It deterritorializes the traditional garden and reterritorializes it upon encountering the residential systems of modern architecture, charting its own path along the line of flight to form a new rhizome. Atelier LI   The project site is situated in a villa district in the southern suburbs of Suzhou. The client aimed to demolish the old house and construct a modern garden-villa. Most villa districts exhibit a figure-ground relationship, where the house is positioned at the center, enclosed by boundary walls, resul... More
