Atlampa Gardens

Project Description

Eight light-touch interventions dispersed throughout Atlampa fill the unused spaces of the site and provide access to public rooftop landscapes, creating flexible platforms that encourage citizens’ engagement with them. These interventions occur where three unique physical characteristics of Atlampa meet: vacant spaces, blank walls and facades that face these vacant spaces, and expansive roofscapes provided by large industrial buildings. Vacant spaces become ground level public spaces that at certain points provide access to discoverable constructed landscapes on the roofs of the industrial buildings. Three formal strategies are deployed in specific ways to these different sites to create public space: the mounding of soil and contaminated fill to create planted landforms, lightweight steel and wood constructions that rest on the existing structural systems of the buildings below, and found industrial objects which are integrated with the two previous formal moves.
