Giardina Zürich 2018
Enzo Enea and his team win silver at the Giardina Awards 2018 in the category “Special shows, gardens from 200m2“. The project “East Meets West” is Enzo Enea’s idea of a new, inter-cultural home.
The complementary habitat “East Meets West” solidifies Enzo Enea’s impressions of the projects abroad: Harmonic proportions create defined and open spaces. The floral heritage of the dominant cultures shimmer into the present like memories of the past, simultaneously acting as a bridge between East and West.
The pavilion is the reinterpretation of a tea house in the Far East and offers a place of retreat that connects the outside and inside. The concept goes beyond a purely formal approach and successfully combines culture, architecture and history. With its carefully selected materials, „East Meets West” also stands for cross-generational sustainability, guiding Enea‘s principle: “We create values for generations”.
