2- Monet´s Garden 

When Monet arrived at Giverny, he dreamed of a garden. He didn’t dream of a tidy garden but a garden with defined lawns and flowers and lines of trees. He dreamed of a garden of poppies and daisies that appear to melt into the greenery like the stroke of a brush, of wild nasturtiums that invade the paths, of wisteria tangled in wooden pergolas, of ponds of water lilies and reflections.
When Monet arrived at Giverny he found a vegetable garden surrounded by high stone walls. He created gardens with grass and flowers and fruit trees, dug a small pond, had a bridge built the Japanese way. When Monet arrived at Giverny, he dreamed of a garden and gradually created what would become his most prized work of art.
Monet’s Garden approaches the compositional and artistic principles of Impressionism. You travel through a space in which the axioms of his painting are present through a repetition of wooden arches.
The colours of the light, modified by fabrics and skins, imbue the path with colour and atmosphere. The screen of mist, produced by vaporizers will refresh the visitors in the hot months and generate a diffused, dense, vaporous reality. Monet’s colours are gardens of grass and flowers in motion, combining humble and more exuberant species, which grow freely and are organized according to colour, as if they were brushstrokes in a painting that mixes and fuses colours.

The Impressionists are made up of a trio of architects who graduated from the Technical School of Architecture in Madrid (ETSAM) and are currently studying a Master’s degree at the same school.
With different understandings and approaches to architecture, they share their passion for the beauty of the natural world and their interest in developing landscaping as a discipline.
Thanks to a subject in the Offical Master’s that focuses on Contemporary Landscape, we participated in the Allariz competition. We hope to start our professional career with the design of a garden that encompasses the anxieties and desires that have accompanied us throughout these years of study.
