Through agriculture, we started to separate ourselves from nature. We stopped leaving our fate to the natural order of things and began to change its organization. Agriculture came from the need to survive, to better our conditions

Elena and Peter are two landscape designers who started collaborating since university. Their passion for creating gardens stems from a common vision of design. In Radicepura they put their selves to the test in this project of green space.
Gardens, on the other hand, only aim to be aesthetically pleasing – their existence is meant to be a gift for the gods. The Babylon gardens were built for Ishtar, goddess of love and war, daughter of the moon and sister to the sun. We often represent those gardens with extreme beauty and exaggerations, forgetting that they were intended to satisfy more rational needs. In ‘The Babylonian Cradle’, pillows welcome you to sit, the perfume of mint makes you eager to drink, papyrus shades your sit and lemons awaken your nostrils. The “palm trees”, ephemeral, remain the only aesthetic luxury in this garden.
