Project by Yue Han, Yuyang Cai, Jason Zhou
The research shows that plants that listen to music at specific frequencies grow better. Therefore, we envisioned that plants can play music for plants; plants can help plants grow better without human intervention. In the design, we translate the varying water requirements of six plant species into music, allowing the plants to play percussion instruments. Different materials vibrate to create different sounds and tones, providing plants with a variety of music. Then, we placed it in City Hall Park, using modular, movable wooden frames and curtain modules, which can be freely configured to create various concert hall shapes, allowing the plants in the site to grow better by listening to music. Additionally, we try to translate the varying water requirements of plants and the amount of carbon dioxide they consume into music, forming string and wind instruments that plants can play. Let plants ultimately create a plant orchestra.
