“耐心园丁”是 visiondivision 作为客座教授为米兰理工大学开展为期一周的研讨会时设计的一个公共景观。该项目开始了一项不曾有过的尝试，它以耐心作为建筑设计的核心理念。设计师将10棵樱花树围成一圈，通过各种方法控制树木的生长，是其最终形成一个沙漏状。对于此次设计理念的来源，Visiondivision认为如果我们可以降低对于建设速度的要求，那么我们便可以合理利用资源，减少浪费，改项目的最终结果有望在60年后看到。
在整个作品的实施阶段，visiondivision 采用十棵日本樱花作为整体的骨架，这些樱花按圆形种植，围城一个直径约8米的环形，此外还有一个六米高的临时的木结构作为引导樱花生长的设施。樱花树之间的距离大都均等的，这样有利于提高植物生长期间的稳定性。不过这里面也有特例，其中就有四棵树的位置比较特殊，因为它们将来会用作人们爬上樱桃树屋的楼梯。
随着时间的推移，樱花的树冠在外力作用下逐渐聚拢，然后再向外伸展。最终整个樱花树丛将会呈现一种沙漏状的造型。这是一个非常实用的形式，人们可以根据空间位置的不同将其打造成为具有不同模式的游憩空间。
等樱花树上的小树枝长大以后，人们可以用绳索将其关联起来，形成上下的爬梯。地面部分栽有花花草草，人们便可以在上面放置家具物品，还可以放一张桌子和四把椅子组成的就餐区域，这样游客坐在椅子上就可以吃到美味的水果。

Visiondivision was invited as guest professors by Politecnico di Milano for their week-long workshop MIAW2.
The workshop, playing with the metaphor of forests, aimed to generate new visions to explain the contemporary and immediate future ways of being in the spirit of green design, resilience, recycling, and ethical consciousness.
Our intention with our project was to construct a study retreat at the campus with patience as the main key for the design. If we can be patient with the building time we can reduce the need for transportation, waste of material and different manufacturing processes, simply by helping nature grow in a more architectonic and useful way. The final result can be enjoyed at Politecnico di Milano in about 60 years from now.
During the workshop we gave nature all the guidance and directions to help it grow into useful structures and objects.
There are different methods and tools to guide and control the growth of trees and plants; bending, twisting, pruning, grafting, braiding, weaving and to control the amount of water and light the trees get are just some examples of these.
We used almost all of these techniques in our creation, which involved creating a structural system for the building and also stairs and furniture, all made out of trees, plants or grass.
Our structural frame for this project became ten Japanese cherry trees that was planted in a circle with a diameter of eight meters with a six meter high temporary wood structure in the center that is acting as a guidance tower for the growing structure.
The trees were planted with an equal spacing from each other, except for four of them that became two pairs of stairs to the future upper level.
The cherry trees was ideal to plant at that time of year and also had great features for achieving the desired structure. Thin ropes were tied around the plants and were slightly bent towards the temporary tower.
As time passes the trees will form a dome when they reach the tower, and then designated by to change its direction so the final form will be an hourglass, a suiting shape for the project and also a very practical form as we now have two rooms with different modes in the building.
The small branches on the plants that will grow into stairs are guided with wires to each other and will hopefully be useful later on. The rest of the stairs can later be grafted in the stair trees. On the ground level we designed furniture out of grass, trees and plants. There are a dining group consisting of a table with four chairs. The chairs are plum trees where one sit at the lowest fork and the branches are guided into canopies so the future visitor can sit in the chair while at the same time eating delicious fruits.
The table is made out of slender wooden pieces with strings in the structure, which forms a skeleton where hedras can grow and later take over the structure completely. A comfortable chair made out of grass are located on the other side of the ground floor. The grass chair is put together with the use of a custom made cardboard structure, shaped for maximal relaxation and that is painted with a protection coating and that is later filled with soil on site and draped with grass. A grass puff is also made and placed in the tower where the floor of the upper level will be.
The puff is a big potato bag filled with straw, soil, fertilizer and grass seed. An organic rope is placed with a third of its length inside the bag, and the bag is later sewn together.
The rest of the rope is placed in water so the puff gets water and will later be covered in grass, so when the trees finally reaches this level and becomes the floor, it will already be furnished.
Together with the students we worked out a maintenance plan and instructions to future gardeners that is simple enough to actually work.
On the structure, we instructed that a pattern of wood will be grafted in, leaving two spaces between the trees as entries/exits and the rest is closed in ornamental patterns with branches.
On the upper level which is reached by the two staircases with exquisite handrails, is different fruit trees grafted into the cherry trees so the visitor can have a variety of fruits while relaxing in the canopy. Branches are also grafted in for security reasons between the tree trunks.
In about 80 years from now the Politecnico di Milano campus will have a fully grown building and the students will hopefully have proud grandchildren that can tell the story of the project for their friends and family.
