Architecture Meets
Horticulture At World’s
Second Oldest Theme Park
Living Wall specialist, ANS Global, has installed a stunning
‘living’ nine metre inverted cone at the second oldest theme
park in the world, Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen.
The cone measures one metre wide at the base and grows
to four metres wide at the top.
A spokesperson at ANS Global explains: “We worked with
the architects to develop the idea from a simple sketch
that they had produced. It was their dream to have a tall,
evergreen structure in the striking inverted conical shape, so
we worked out the logistics to make their dream come true.
“The sculpture has been created to make the biggest
possible visual impact with abundant greenery, yet the
smallest achievable footprint to maximise the space
available. We have incorporated birdsong and bedding
plants, and Tivoli has the capability of adding in seasonal
features such as decorations and pumpkins to keep the
remote-controlled irrigation system which is monitored from
design fresh for regular visitors.”
