Garden of Multilingualism

A green pocket set amongst the towers

The design approach adopted by the landscape architect Michel Desvigne is that of a miniature countryside, inspired by farming spaces. Their plantings draw on the local geography, visually underlining the slopes. Planting rooms are introduced to the landscaped topography of this garden, forming a rich palette of planting. The purpose of these rooms, in addition to welcoming visitors in their leisure time, is to satisfy the demand for organising festivals of various kinds. These rooms will be able, for instance, to be a home for art installations, permanent or temporary, on the theme of multilingualism. The paths of the garden follow the topography of the site and connect the planting rooms. As in farmed landscapes, the connection between the parcels of land is achieved using a single feature that follows the levels of the ground. The path is paved in stone, into which letters will be inscribed.
