Temporary Exhibitions Roof Garden – Plantation Blueprint
Blueprint of the final proposal for the roofing of the Temporary Exhibitions Gallery. presented in 1967, following several studies carried out between 1963 and 1966 [i].
A grid defined by the paths – concrete slabs – is combined with an organic design defined by herbaceous plants, which reinforce the design with colour and texture. A set of “boxes” planted with shrubs, located at the periphery of the space, punctuates the composition.
The choices made with regard to the design of this garden clearly reveal that the landscape architects’ idea was that it was to be viewed from above, from the building’s interior.
