Landscape architecture is all about curbing and controlling nature, so it's interesting to see a project like Deichmann Square by Chyutin Architects which looks true to this practice.
Organizing the college courtyard into structured strips of lawn and concrete, the design team has laid out a systematic striped program of green space. Offering a hard bench or a soft turf seat within centimeters of each other, the Deichmann Square by Chyutin Architects creates a diverse environment to accommodate various activities at the Israeli Ben-Gurion University.
