Looking through Icon's latest publication, I stumbled upon this little ditty by Marks Barfield Architects. High in the Kew Royal Botanical Gardens in London, it winds its way through the tops of sweet chestnut, decidious, and oak trees. The light-looking (but probably not) steel structure resembles the trees it coexists with. The architects goals were to create a unique experience without harming the existing environment, or detracting from the natural beauty of its surroundings. The result is remarkable: innovative, distinct, and it looks like a heavenly walk. Let's hope this is the directions of "Ethical Design"!
