Norden Farm Centre for the Arts          Curved Landscape

“ The design philosophy for Norden Farm was to
 fully integrate art into architecture.
 This resulted in the unusual  situation of the main 
building contractor constructing the artworks to the 
artists’ designs, supervised by the architects.
The extent of this collaboration and the quality of the
 communications was the key to the whole project.
The relationships and trust between individuals, spanning 
architects, artists, the client and contractors, enabled us to
 easily overcome any adversities. The finished project is a 
testament to everyone’s patience, dedication and the
 spirit of co-operation achieved."

“ Making Curved Landscape in all weathers, with the many  
builders, tree planters, architects  and  engineers, I was 
aware of the connection between our own land-shaping 
activities and the physical history of Norden Farm. My own 
work is deeply rooted in intimate landscape 
– the curves, colours and surfaces in the Courtyard are there
 for your sense experience, discovery and pleasure.
 The landscaping contains a flow of changing perspectives, 
horizons and sensual details – private experiences in this 
new, public space.
