Today we bring a work of Gilles Clément, who has just published the editorial Gustavo Gili. This publication provides a contemporary reflections on the landscape and the most interesting gardens in this discipline, different reflections to the discouse based on visual order and control exerted by the man on the plant species.

El jardín en movimiento contends that the gardens and the landscape are not static spaces must be controlled but places where nature must take its course, where the vegetables species should be installed spontaneously and develop it freely so that the aesthetic experience arises from the contemplation of their spontaneous processes of biological succession. According to this celebrated essay, the gardener's work isn´t tame nature through the imposition of a strict and predetermined viewpoint, but to know the species and their behaviors, to observe the natural dynamics and the part of the biology to encourage the place to guide and to maximize their natural characteristics.

The author says: "There are no accidents in the gardens. Only constructs men have accidents. Nature suffers cataclysms. And then heals."

(Txt.- Gilles Clément)
