France (March, 2022) – We took a walk along an old train passage, for a little meander in nature. The garden passage is still inclusive of a patch of railroad track and a single train car; now used as an educational centre. While rather overgrown with native plant species, the passage also hosts a few surprises. I was drawn to the shape of l'hôtel à insectes; the outer form reminded me of the archways of central and south Asia. While the inner sanctum seemed like a highly structured, yet organic architectural paradise for its mini guests. It provided fodder for the imagination.
