“An unstructured Tuscan garden” is the title of the temporary exhibition outside the Polveriera building, designed for Once Events at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence, during the 83rd International Handicraft Exhibition.
The project portrays the Tuscan garden in a kind of elementary representation, where plants and typical components are relocated in atypical geometries, in contrast with herbaceous plants of the contemporary global culture. Olive and cypress trees are placed in front of a small vertical garden, emphasizing the contrast with the ancient stone wall of the Polveriera building.
