Contrast In Our Landscapes

A project by Archer & Buchanan Architecture, LTD

To create visual interest in our landscapes, general rule of thumb is to introduce something that stands in contrast to the dominant material. In a project titled, “Cor-Ten Cattails Sculptural Fence”, the designer/artist constructed a sculptural fence from 300, ten-foot-high steel blades.  This functions as a deer deterrent, art installation, as well as a fence. Designed by Archer & Buchanan Architecture, LTD, this installation has won many awards. The dark, rustic orange provides a rich contrast to the green of the surrounding landscape, adding visual appeal and a dominating presence by virtue of its material and scale
