11. Philocephalus Hortus
A journey of initiation, a labyrinth of colours, a play on shade and light, this garden is based on the senses, so that emotion and perception are in tune with understanding.
From the earth, by its barks and its roots, its flowers and its fruits, its species and its molecules, the plant elements take us back to the biological elements which we are composed of, in order to let us think out our existence, design innovation and invent the unthinkable. An area of scents, designed by a team of doctors, this garden plays on the image of the jars that adorned the old chemist’s shops and praises the virtues of aromatherapy.
