Captured Landscape

Kate Baker - 2018

Overview

The enclosed garden, or hortus conclusus, represents a fusion of architecture and landscape with a rich history. Its evolution spans from early paradise and cloister gardens to modern forms like city retreats and sustainable designs. As climate change awareness grows, the enclosed garden offers opportunities for mediating between interior and exterior spaces, fostering sustainable design and a deeper connection with nature. This typology is inherently ambiguous, blurring the lines between outdoor room and captured landscape, architecture and garden.
