From the Lincolnshire Echo:
A Twitter-reactive garden designed at the University of Lincoln has won a gold award at the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show.
The STAN (Science Technology Architecture Networks) research project, explores whether architecture is able to reflect and map human emotions.
The garden is made of a raw steel structure, which sits vertically and horizontally, and is controlled by people’s responses via Twitter. In this way it is continuously revealing what the landscape is covering, while also remodelling itself.
It reacted to activity on Twitter when people use the #gardenup hashtag, translating this information into movements of the garden’s mechanical landscape.
