Sacré potager by atelier barda [Patrick Morand, Antonio Di Bacco, Cécile Combelle and Julien Pinard], Montréal, Canada and Paris, France.
An installation that presents the profane and the sacred in discreet wooden altars that evoke the wayside crosses once found on Québec’s country roads.

Courtesy of Nature by Johan Selbing and Anouk Vogel, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
In this reference to the white walls and silent spaces of contemporary museums, Courtesy of Nature exhibits and encourages visitors to explore their relationship to nature.

Dead Garden II by Carlos M. Teixeira, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
Dead Garden II is a garden made of tree trunks and branches found nearby. It takes advantage of an inexorable phenomenon: every life is a foretold failure, every plant will perish, and organic matter one day will be of use to somebody else. Trees die and new trees are born. Growth and becoming are tools of the landscape architect, but rarely the cycle of life and death is the substance of garden design. The garden also plays with the corridor, a useless and avoided space in architectural plans that here becomes a series of parallel aisles activated by means of an inanimate natural element.
