ZUS said « Under the smoke of Brussels industry lies a fairytale like estate called Grand Bigard. The aim was to breath new life in the monumental but neglected park by using a flower intervention. With about 800.000 tulips the existing qualities of the landscape were explicated. To make the intervention as precise as possible we used a Baroc design method. With a few kilometres of rope and a car full of piquets we stitched the patterns on site in order to make use of the multiple views given in the landscape. In the sequences of the gardens differences are created between chaotic, visual explosions and contemplative, minimal use of colour. »
