Trojan horse [disguise] ideas...

Mortensrud Church, Norway [funkadelic wall ideas]

"Tolo House" [thoughts on stairs and facades intertwining, connecting etc]

The Vertical Gardens of Patrick Blanc









I have interpreted the 'wooden horse' theme in two ways: the idea of the unordinary placed among the ordinary and conventional; and the idea of something disguised as something else - things are not always what they seem.

The idea of the vertical garden, for me, goes against convention - it presents something new and unusual yet fits in with it's surroundings as it is just a garden - something of the everyday and ordinary [just plonked on a different surface].

The horse is a hoofed mammal, one of eight living species of the family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi toed creature into the large, single toed animal of today. Humans began to domesticate horses around 4500 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC; by 2000 BC the use of domesticated horses had spread throughout the Eurasian continent. Although most horses today are domesticated, there are still endangered populations of the Przewalski's Horse, the only remaining true wild horse, as well as more common feral horses which live in the wild but are descended from domesticated ancestors.
