Quark Park: Visions
Quark Park represents a collaboration of scientists and engineers paired with artists and landscape architects
rendering high concept into three-dimensional space. This unique collision of science and art gives birth to an amazing
world where one can stroll through a hippocampus or saunter beneath a sea of glass bubbles as well as a number of other
wonders in a garden of earthly delights of the mind.
