L’ORTO BOTANICO DI PALERMO: IL GYMNASIUM

Abstract

On the base of a valuable documentation of project drawings, sketches and old survey, the Author proposes inedited graphic studies aimed to critically revisit all neoclassical buildings of the gymnasium and the “stoves” that it is it possible to see at the Botanical Garden of Palermo. The charming open-air laboratory that the Botanical Garden of Palermo offer to visitors and experts, in the urban landscape of Palermo, shows how Architecture, Art and Decoration coexist in a synergistic experiment.
