During the pandemic, many public parks and gardens closed with the worry that the rules of physical distancing were not practiced. In Vienna, all famous parks, like Sch\u00f6nbrunn or Belvedere closed their gates and residents had to use streets and alleys to stretch their legs. But how a park that implements the rules of physical distancing as a design-guideline would look? Although our \u2018Park de la Distance\u2019 encourages physical distance, the design is inspired by the human touch: a fingerprint.<\/p>\n

Like a fingerprint, parallel lanes guide visitors through the undulating landscape. Every lane has a gateway on the entrance and exit, which indicates if the path is occupied or free to stroll. The lanes are distanced 240cm from each other and have a 90cm wide hedge as a division.<\/p>\n

Along their path, people walk on reddish granite gravel. Although people are visually separated most of the time, they might hear footsteps on the pebbles from the neighboring paths.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe design introduces a park for physical distancing and short-term solitude\u201d.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Each individual journey is about 600m long. The height of the planters varies along this journey, and give different levels to the hedges throughout the park. Sometimes visitors are fully immersed by nature, other times they emerge over the hedge and can see across the garden.<\/p>\n

The paths slowly spiral towards a center

But at all times, they keep a safe physical distance to each other. Similar to the wavy patterns of a Japanese zen-garden, the paths slowly spiral towards a center, where fountains are placed.<\/p>\n

These symbolize a source of life and inner balance. From the center, visitors continue to circulate outwards.<\/p>\n

The individual journey takes around 20 minutes and offers something very unique for bustling urban areas: A brief time of solitude.<\/p>\n

A temporary seclusion from the public. A moment to think, to meditate or just to walk alone through nature.<\/p>\n

Studio Precht (previously known as Penda) is located in the mountains of Austria, and we strongly believe that the seclusion on summits and forests is not just a source for creativity, but also an essential part of physical and mental health and balance.<\/p>\n
