The project was commissioned by Autismo e Società Onlus.​

ColtivAbile Therapeutic Garden is an inclusive and continuously evolving space designed to support well-being, sensory exploration and a meaningful connection with nature. The landscape integrates planting, pathways and areas for educational, social and productive activities, including the cultivation of fruit and vegetables and the production of cosmetic products. It provides a welcoming and accessible environment for people with autism, their families and the wider community, adapting over time to new activities, needs and forms of participation.

GARDENS OF KNOWLEDGE

WATER GARDENS AT THE INTERSECTION OF BOTANY, ART AND WELL-BEING

research

Gardens of Knowledge is a landscape concept in which water becomes the organising element of a botanical and therapeutic garden. Vegetation, reflective surfaces, sensory pathways and artworks integrated into the landscape define a sequence of spaces dedicated to well-being, learning and contemplation, bringing ecological processes, artistic research and the experience of place into dialogue.
