Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851

The visual character of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 centers on utilitarian horticultural research environments, balancing rigid geometric planter layouts with dramatic, atmospheric light filtering across dense foliage. This work serves as a strong reference when integrating highly structured agricultural grids with functional infrastructure and dynamic daylighting in botanical research landscapes.

Outdoor nursery or research plot with potted conifers and variegated shrubs on black ground fabric under a blue sky.

Dr Tijana Blanusa: Built Environment Fellow 2021

An outdoor research or nursery plot featuring modular container plantings set against a rural backdrop, serving as a precedent for movable landscape installations.
