Filosofía en el jardín
Plato taught while walking and his Academy was in a sacred forest. Aristotle gave his talks in a park and his school, the Lyceum, was named for its shady grove of trees. Cultured Romans came to the gardens to talk and study. Gardens can console, calm and uplift, but they can also bewilder and provoke, and this is the philosophical value that has been perpetuated into the contemporary era.
This fascinating work explores the intimate relationship of great historical figures – among others, Proust, Rousseau, Orwell and Dickinson – with the plants, trees and flowers they loved so much (and sometimes detested so much) and reveals the deep thoughts that went into them. outdoors. Jane Austen sought the solace of perfection between the philadelphus and the peony of her country house. Leonard Woolf’s Frozen Apple Trees suggested just the opposite: a glimpse of the world’s precarious brutality. The scandalous French author Colette discovered contemplative peace in roses. Years later, Jean-Paul Sartre described the nausea caused by a chestnut tree: an existentialist cry that rallied a generation.
Gardens are a manifestation of nature as well as a metaphor for human nature, hence its philosophical essence and the beauty of this book.

Estudio Laterna is an interdisciplinary design space based in Ibiza that integrates landscape architecture with a strong artistic approach. The studio was founded in 2004 by Andrea Sánchez and Ricardo Jarpa. The landscape architectural designs are led by Andrea with a team of landscape architects, biologists and artists. The application of the designs is directed by Ricardo with a team of professional gardeners and artisans. Together they create an alternative form of landscape architectural practice that unites design and exploration, pushing boundaries, connecting nature and its realms, speaking the ever evolving language of the more-than-human. This intertwining was the leitmotif that also inspired them to create Estudio Laterna Art Gallery, a nest of art in the heart of Ibiza island, manifesting a new perspective for local communities and international artists. Estudio Laterna is also developing other creative projects such as Kossmun, an experimental outdoor furniture brand.
