The John Madejski Garden in V&A






Photographs by Bo-Kyung in 2008

06.NOV.2008 London Walk 2
Paddington to Sloane Square

The garden in the middle of V&A museum was made with water in centre of the square surrounded brick museum buildings. Feature of water is vertical shape of water as a fountain and water on the ground with stairs in harmony. It looked calm but not boring because of fountains on 3 levels stairs. Moreover, it gave me time to think about using water effectively with levels to make various landscapes in a garden.

“An oasis of tranquillity in the very heart of London, the John Madejski Garden provides a beautiful setting for summer receptions. Situated in the quadrant of the V&A with its ellipse and impressive façade, the garden is one of London’s hidden treasures. It is particularly magical when floodlit at night.”
