designed by faulders studio, deformscape is an outdoor extension to a private dwelling in san francisco. situated within a tightly packed urban neighborhood, this limited-space sculpture garden includes a large tree, and uses this sole arboreal presence to establish a gravitational pattern of grooves that are focused towards the tree’s centroid. this asserts the valued presence of the carbon-absorbing tree and its green canopy overhead, while still allowing for a maximum of usable surface area below which is free of other vegetation. to generate the resulting pattern, a 3-dimensional bulge is formed around the tree, and its distorted wire-grid is projected onto a 2-dimensional surface. taking into account appearance effects created by perspective views from the inside, the resulting planar surface appears to be sinking around the tree.
a gravitational pattern of grooves on the planar surfaces makes the ground appear as if it is sinking in around the tree

Very Innovative…
Whats the deck made out of? Are the pieces lazer cut?
Creative design AND low maintenance. I think it is a winner.
it’s a one point visual gag that only really works in a 2D photo. when you see stuff like this in reality, soon as your head moves the games up. then it’s boring ever after.
but you didn’t! jajajajaja!
but you didn’t…
I could have done that.
Very interesting concept, has unlimited possibilities, with a simple application of lines. Create hills, bumps and depressions at will. I applaud the new word. ‘Deformscape”
I like the concept.
