THE VENETIAN MARKET GARDEN OF INFLORESCENCE / Huda Jaber 2nd year








THE VENETIAN MARKET GARDEN OF INFLORESCENCE / Huda Jaber

Overflowing vegetation runs along the staircases of the herb garden. As locals pick the leaves off, collecting them for their food, they are lost within an inner city garden. Canopied by thin waterproof membranes, the garden intertwines between Pescheria fish Market and Erberia Vegetable Market. Based on the jellyfish form, the structure is composed of winding staircases, thin canopy membranes and water pipes gushing water round from the river to the herbs. A heavy scent of herbs intoxicates the air, whilst the locals grow and maintain the growth of the herbs.  In the hyperbolised tourist franchise that Venice has become, the garden is an oasis for the local community.
