The Philip Morris International Scrolling Garden
One of 20 plaques from the "Pax Americana" series created for the D.B. Weldon Library at Western University.
"Welcome to the Philip Morris International Scrolling Garden, made for those seeking a respite from knowledge and learning. A safe space, the Scrolling Garden allows visitors to use their devices without distraction or interruption.
Imagined by architect Andrew John (BA, Visual Arts, Western University, 2014), the space was designed to be intentional and deeply symbolic. Its inward-facing position within the building allows for connection without engagement, carefully negotiating the boundaries between inside and outside, exposure and openness. The mixed textures of the walls gesture toward diversity, while the corners serve as a spatial refuge from the wide open—a place to step outside while still being within the comfort of one’s limits.
This plaque marks the official unveiling of the Scrolling Garden on February 6, 2041."
