Entre naturaleza y arquitectura

The garden is a hybrid place from its origins, born from the human desire to tame nature and from our eternal search for beauty, and therefore represents the space of greatest tension between the natural and the artificial. As a representation of paradise lost, it is also universal, which is why throughout history countless idyllic orchards have been created that respond to the imagination, aspirations and needs of specific societies. In these extraordinary pages, Marta Llorente invites us to subtly approach the reality of the garden from multiple perspectives: the itinerary through past and present Edens, real and fictional, will help us understand its function in the urban fabric, the manifestations it has had in literature and art, and its future as a natural space in a context of climate emergency.
