Short description of contents:

The relationship between the villa and the garden constitutes one of the most enduring and revealing metaphors in Western cultural history. Outlining a complex web of relationships, the villa–garden interface is an intellectual and social construct; there, habitation, authority, art, and collective life converge within a single cultural order. The villa and the garden are complementary yet distinct articulations of culture and space. The volume mirrors this duality; by juxtaposing historical, literary, artistic, and juridical approaches, it demonstrates that the cultivation of space is inseparable from the cultivation of meaning. The villa-garden interface is thus a metaphor for interdisciplinarity itself: a terrain where nature and culture, art and law, the aesthetic and the ethical, intersect and evolve.
