The creation of an intimate world tamed by knowledge and categorical structure, the botanical garden is the symbol of relative exoticism. The wild is subdued by the scientific and organizational thinking of the living, of reality.

 

A dangerous, mystical space is reduced to the categorization of abstract thought, leading to a superposition of worlds.

 

The distant is brought near while amplifying the sensory experience of the visitor; nature occupies the space provided by the plan, and the visitor walks along delimited paths.

 

The botanical garden is a vestige of the exploratory approach to the world through an imagined cartography, giving way today to the pleasure of reverie.
