architecture-design · 2026-09-18

Hugh Taylor designed "Again, a Garden" for the Festival International de Jardins at the Jardins de Métis in Grand-Métis, Québec. The temporary pavilion consists of hundreds of logs sourced from the surrounding forest and aluminum plates that enclose a wildflower garden. It functions as both a physical and figurative structure for human and floral occupation. Visitors position themselves, literally and figuratively, among the logs and the life they contain. The installation is part of the festival's ongoing program.
