Hard hats...

Westonbirt Arboretum, Tetbury, UK

...must be worn at all time in 'The Cement Garden', by Deborah Nagan, of architects naganjohnson.

"One of Deborah's childhood memories is of playing on a building site: now a regular location of her adult-world job.
Fascinated by order breaking through the chaos, and how the result can look artful, Deborah's design for Westonbirt
looks at bringing the apparent chaos of the urban life into a rural landscape.

"Inspired partly by the somewhat bleak Ian McEwan novel 'The Cement Garden',
Deborah was excited by how destruction and abandonment could work, stylistically, in a beautiful rural environment."
