The Open Call: Geometric Gardens / shaping nature, while nature shapes us

The Pluralist invites you to take part in its third and final issue of this academic year! Geometric Gardens / shaping nature, while nature shapes us invites contemplations on the relationship between human and natural habitats, seeing the world through patterns, shapes and pareidolia. From constructions made of plants to perfectly spherical stones, the built and the natural echo each other on a morphological and symbolic level. Artists, designers, architects and urban planners use principles from nature to shape and scale built environments and artifacts, which in time get reintegrated back into natural landscapes.

With the revival of the biosphere in spring and summer months, our environment is calling us to interact and perceive its beauty, struggles and hidden geometries - the veins of leaves, the geometry of petals or crystals, the concentric circles of tree bark, the texture of minerals, flocks of birds and fish moving in patterns. Let’s pay homage to nature by observing it.

Send in your observations, contemplations, discoveries, or odes to the natural world that surrounds us!
