From the architect's website: «When the University of Minnesota's Landscape Arboretum put out a
call for entries for a collection of «Secret Gardens,» inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett's well - known children's book, Chris Wegscheid had an idea that didn't include a single plant: build a body - sized
camera obscura that would bring an ever - changing view of the arboretum into a secret indoor space.»
