Everyone was looking up at the Berkshire Botanical Garden as it opened it season with a reception for the exhibit Out on a Limb: Architects Take a Bough which was curated by Matt Larkin and Elizabeth Hamilton. The designers are Robyn Sandberg (left, in her bamboo-and-climbing-cord construction), Michael Trapp, Joseph Cho and Stefanie Lew of Binocular Design, Gray Davis and Will Meyer of Meyers Davis Studio, Mark Smith and Tim Smith of 9 Partners Design and James Odegaard. While some of the tree houses are close to the ground, some require climbing to fully experience, which makes this installation a great outing for the entire family.
