description This study explores the use of head-mounted displays (HMDs) as augmented fabrication interfaces within the fields of architecture and landscape design. It focuses on the analysis of Augmented Grounds, a landscape installation designed by Soomeen Hahm, Jaeheon Jung, and Yumi Lee. The research is based on an in-depth literature review of this project and the art of gardens, particularly in the context of the Métis International Garden Festival, which serves as the backdrop for this creation. To enhance the analysis, photographic and video materials, as well as data obtained from online interviews, were incorporated. The installation innovatively combines the traditional craft of hand-weaving with the digital precision enabled by HMDs. It offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the textile heritage of the North American Métis Nation by applying a parametric design approach to architecture and landscape. This pioneering approach opens up new horizons in landscape art design by leveraging an innovative fabrication method that redefines the role of interfaces - particularly HMDs - beyond their conventional use in architecture, integrating them seamlessly into artistic and landscape creation.
