Field of reclaimed tiles

Venice, Italy

Tiled Garden

This installation was made for the international architecture exhibition in a historic garden. It was designed by a Chinese practice.

Tens of thousands of recycled roof tiles were laid in rows across the ground, creating an artificial landscape. Visitors crossed it on narrow bamboo bridges.

The work carried a material salvaged from demolished houses into the garden, and showed how tiles could be used to build a whole landscape.
