Challenge
From general to specific
Diverging Partner Needs – Chelsea Garden prioritizes plant participation and attractiveness, while Privglaze focuses on showcasing smart glass technology.
Abstract Theme – Designing around the concept of plants is inherently abstract, making it challenging to create a clear and engaging experience.
Audience Engagement – The installation needs strong interactivity to bridge the gap between the abstract plant concept and audience perception.
