07. Le jardin qui chante

The singing garden

published at 20/03/2019

Le Jardin qui chante invites us into the Persan Pairidaeza of the Koran: in the shade of the fruit trees, the melodious birdsong reminds us of a time of harmony between humans and nature.
Behind a thick plant curtain lies an orchard providing refreshing cool air and a pleasant place to rest, lying on cushions, looking up at the sky through the foliage and observing the nests of exotic birds in the branches. On the ground, the protective wicker sanctuary echoes these cosy shelters. Young and old alike will be struck by the magic.
Le Jardin qui chante questions our perception of nature and the enclosed space. The use of sound evokes the fragile but resilient nature of the natural world. The sound will get louder and stop, reminding us that the impact humans have on the world we share can be destructive to other life forms.
The planted areas are inspired by four mythical rivers containing milk, honey, wine and water.
The use of recycled materials will subtly highlight the environmental challenges we are currently facing.
It is about creating a peaceful place while addressing important issues linked to cultivated and wild spaces.
