Landscape architects bureau famous or their projects in Europe (from diagnostic and landscape research of urban space - command from the City Council of Paris, realization of temporary village in the historical Kings potage in the Versailles Castle for the European Elasa meeting in Versailles to amusement park in Norway) will create a landscape laboratory on the territory of Nikola-Lenivets which results will be presented in the framework of summer festival.

[Lab]scape project intends to create and develop park via landscape methods. Project is termed for 3 years. Atelier’s working principles include traditional landscape architecture means – trees leveling and heading, seeding the territory, gardening, building wood seats and pathways – as well as new experiences and means of landscape creation. In creating landscape on the territory which borders with National Park, “Atelier 710” follows ecological principles and deny integration of alien systems and reject the idea of territory development via destructive urban approaches.

Architects will decide functional tasks set by the park via agricultural methods which can invert ordinary cows into landscape characteristic because they are main meadow and field keepers in this museum park and save them from extensive grass growing.  Visual axis which goes through all different park parts become an ecological path which gives an overview of all natural components.

Laboratory objective is to create museum park structure which reflects natural landscape of the territory and at the same time includes functional structure. [Lab]scape project is planned for many-years-process where gradually developing functional elements will give birth to new life in old lands.
