Repair Garden

Serena Hsieh

This project aim to focus on the relationship between Architectural and seasonality. Repair Garden—a community aquatic garden that restores both the damaged water ecology and the once-vibrant social common ground at Lake Ronkonkoma. Composed of a modular wetland system woven across the lake’s surface, the flexible floating field moves gently with the water, cultivating a renewed communal landscape while purifying the water column and enhancing habitats for native aquatic life. The architecture operates as a weaving machine, where modular devices function as simple toolkits that foster shared gardening experiences. These devices can also be repurposed for simple ball play along the shoreline during off-season.
