Who is Made Wijaya?
His fascination with Bali's rich culture and tradition led him to stay there, working as a tourist guide and photo-journalist before being asked to design the gardens of the legendary Bali Oberoi.
More than 600 gardens later, Wijaya is a well known tropical garden designer with a team of artisans and "garden commandos," as he calls them.
He has also published five books on tropical gardens and South East Asian architecture. And he designs outdoor lights:
His designs are strong on natural materials and organic shapes:
Below is a project he did in Mumbai India called Taj Wellington Mews....Vesica piscis anyone?

DeleteElvina 13th September 2013 Today my attention was drawn to Made Widjaya and his work by Lisa and now I know there is an almost ancient inner peace at work here let alone the harmonic nature that spills out with each word. By crikey! There are those who write words, those who condense words and those who write for the love of words. In gardens the words are transformed from the transcedental knowing of the life of nature. The esperance of which splashes into the mind that comprehends the land and how to speak to it in the language of the Original essence. Thank you.
ReplyDeletethe original essence...I like that.
