Silhouets of the original rosarium are applied on the lawn with chalk
Only a fragment of the original Rosarium is visible today. In the layout of the Floriade 1972, a vast pattern of diagonally positioned rectangles was spread over the area between the restaurant and the Orangerie. This pattern is reconstructed with chalk lines. The maintanance team of the park will mow the lawn outside the lines and leave the grass between the lines untouched, so the rectangeles fill with weeds.
in collaboration with Gemeente Amsterdam, Stadsdeel-Zuid.
