Spolia botanique seeks to
explore alternative hybrid digital scenarios for future urban habitats. It aims to
offer online and mobile experiences to initate a global collaboration for building
augmented urbanscapes.
Spolia Botanique is a project held by Comet Lab, supported by French Ministry of
Culture and Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire and ENSAPB. I contributed in the project for
8 months in 2022 as an intern designer.
My role
I was responsible for scanning in the site, cleaning the data, cataloging and
anchoring the models in augmented reality, preparing visualisations&animations of
3D digital models, recomposing digital gardens and experimenting immersive experience
in physical environment.

Virtual Hybrid Gardens
I designed environments by blending various plant scans we conducted to explore the
potential user interactions within the mobile application. I have created 6 gardens
gathering plant scans from gardens of Chaumont Sur-Loire. Collaborating with a developer,
Comet Lab created animations and AR application tests to revive these conceptual
gardens.
