Architecture firm Zaha Hadid Architects opens up the Henderson Art Garden in the Central Business District of Hong Kong. It is led by developer Henderson Land and is essentially an extension of the location. The garden follows a curved structure with round planters and curved walkways.
The goal was to create a 'sanctuary where art and nature intertwine." The two joined forces with a series of international artists to create a garden of installations with nature inspiration. Henderson Land explains the project, noting "The Henderson Art Garden, a public artistic sanctuary blending art, innovation, and sustainability, elevates The Henderson. This free and accessible haven transforms an urban oasis into a space that fosters creativity, community connection, and environmental consciousness."
