The vegetation interprets the ‘song of the Alzette’, creating the link between what we perceive, the sound frequency, and what we hear, the waterfall.
This garden aims to play on the distinctive features of the site and create a better balance between the dominant mineral infrastructures, the Alzette river, plants and man. The unseen but acoustic presence of the Alzette is depicted through a grid that etches the characteristic pattern of a sound frequency on the ground. This imprint creates a link between what we perceive (the sound frequency) and what we hear (the nearby waterfall), evoking the river at the heart of the garden. The sound wave is also evoked by an aerial ribbon of wicker, through which the plants sing the ‘song of the Alzette’.
