Oasis on Oxford : An Urban Sanctuary
Oasis on Oxford : The Indoor Forest
Oasis on Oxford
One of Hagen Hinderdael ’ s proposals is an urban sanctuary composed of indoor forests , titled Oasis on Oxford . It speaks to the lost landscapes of London whilst immersing visitors in a lush greenscape .
The space would be a programmed indoor park that changes the trajectory for its surroundings . The installation emphasises the importance of a balanced coexistence with nature , stimulating to revive our environment .
Beyond its educational aspect , it will serve as an anchor to drive new retail , generate footfall , and reanimate interaction in the area .
Along with the proposed Oasis on Oxford project , Hagen Hinderdael is also spearheading more permanent greening interventions within our streetscapes . Eden is an interactive installation located in the heart of Belgravia , educating visitors on biodiversity and promoting healthy natural environments .
“ The driving force behind these proposals is a holistic approach reviewing what placemaking is at its core - creating unique urban centres that attract people , provide spaces for contemplation and interaction , and increase our cities green lungs .” explains Sofia Hagen , adding :
“ By establishing nodes of greenery in our cities , we bring the offering of nature that is drawing us out of cities back into the heart of them .” in partnership with www . hagenhinderdael . com
