More notes on gardening, reuse and...

Pallasmaa also talks about how formal architectural logic is weakened when buildings are reused and renovated. The insertion of new functional/symbolic structures over rides the original architectural logic and opens up new unexpected ranges of experience. "Architectural settings that layer contradictory ingredients project a special sensory richness and empathetic charm." (p37 Architectural Atmospheres...)

He then goes on to say that "Gardening is an art form inherently engaged with time, change, atmosphere, and fragile image."
