¿Qué significa «verde doméstico» cuando las plantas crecen en paredes verticales, las cubiertas se convierten en granjas productivas y las antiguas tradiciones de patio encuentran la densidad contemporánea?

Coincidiendo con el Congreso Mundial de la UIA, esta conversación, que tendrá lugar el próximo 27 de Junio, 18:00h, en el Jardín Botánico de Barcelona ,pone en diálogo el auténtico patrimonio jardinístico mediterráneo con sus ecos globales.

Desde los jardines de patio islámicos de Argelia y la tradición francesa del jardín de agrément hasta las chinampas precolombinas de México y los paisajes de misiones de California

Los panelistas explorarán cómo la memoria cultural configura los jardines urbanos íntimos de hoy

El debate examinará cómo los jardines de salón de 1927 –que hacían de puente entre el espacio doméstico y la naturaleza salvaje– ofrecen una plantilla para reimaginar el hogar como hábitat, cuestionando si el habitante urbano de mañana necesita un bosque o un cosmos en miniatura perfectamente compuesto

Moderador: José Luis Cortés (México) Participantes: Phil Harris (Australia), K. Louafi Landschaftsarchitekten (Argelia/Alemania), Adam Greenspan (EE.UU.), Catherine Mosbach Catherine mosbach (Francia)

Evento gratuito, previa Inscripción
