parks

The arboretum park tells a story about a big dike picking up the thread of conversation between two districts. Opposite ponds, doors fold up like origami, assortment of trees describing the vegetable evolution displayed on cairns that are leaning on relief. Promenades are drawn like flexible straps visiting cairns one by one. A relief drawn up as if to play with a dark wooded steep hillside and a luminous smooth slope. Also, chromatic gardens talking about infinite variation of foliage and fruit colors, all year round.
