Purpose: fantasy garden; garden of imagination: a romantic setting where visitors can experience all four seasons in a couple of hours.
Telling the story:
The foreground, middle ground, and background
- Foreground; plays a role of direction
- Middle ground; capturing the season
- Background; a light shines directly through the cross section to excite visitors; looking ahead of what is yet to come; transforming seasons
Depth of focus/ views- compressed (physical space), each pathway is a straight shot; protecting the “surprise”
Distances: the pathways are symmetrical horizontally, but not vertically; which could be the purpose of the major pathway (the one visitors would have to take to see the entire garden) that was made
Time: a consideration; the garden would have a singular pathway if it was not for the direct pathway from the entrance to the villa. That second pathway could have been made for those that just wanted to visit the villa, or was short on time.
Events and Objects:
(1) Cupid fountain located at the main entrance
- God of Love; welcoming visitors with open arms
- Italians believed in Cupids powers which could represent the powers of the owner
- Mischievous; competition
