Temple of Poetry

Based on a vision that explores the interconnection between Art and Nature, in an atmosphere at once attractive and pedagogical, the Poets’ Park is a Theme Park that allows for a deeper perception of the landscape reflecting the Art of Gardens in its full symbolic and environmental weight.
Taking into account the presence of the Temple in a landscape environment which is more natural than urban, the initial idea, which brought about a more relevant set of questions, was the confrontation between the inside and the outside of the building around the concept of interiority, which immediately gave way to the idea of using translucent skins (honeycombed polycarbonate) liable to subvert the concept of wall, and showing parts of the contents alternating with the different transparencies.
As it were, this ambiguity is the symbolic translation of a constant quest for the essence of poetry in a place that thereby obtains a momentum towards immateriality in a borderline condition “between sky and earth”. This borderline condition is also defined through an incomplete form, i.e., the work tries to induce a notion of the “unfinished” reflected on the attempt at its dematerializing, which affords a mystical dimension to the place while pointing to the very matter of construction.
