Continual noise, constant activity vying for your attention, a fast pace, never-ending flows… In the hustle and bustle of the city, our bodies move forward, but our minds struggle.
In the middle of this hustle and bustle, the public garden seems to be a breath, a place to stop. Yet the well-being they provide often remains cursory: the plants are often too perfect, reduced to a flat decor, limiting immersion and the perceptible experience.
This dissertation goes beyond the idea of a simple green space to query the public garden as a space for care capable of supporting city-dwellers in a renewed relationship with nature in the city and that opens the way to perceptible well-being, for people and living things.
