So I spent this week in Japan and noticed a theme that became apparent several times when learning about Japanese architecture, art and gardens.

Japanese culture is occupied with how things change over time. Japanese gardens differ to what I’m used to in Australia in that they are designed with how the plants act during the different seasons in mind. It means that anyone who visits the gardens at different times of the year will have different experiences to people who come at other times.

This is similar to the Korsakow project in that everyone has different experience and I will make sure this concept is taken into consideration the same way that the Japanese plan their gardens when we do our project.
