Spot5 proposes a translation of traditional motifs of the art of gardens in contemporary way in the enlarged context of this vast ecological corridor where the international horticulture exhibition IHE 2011 takes place. The traditional chinese landscape painting is designated by the term Shanshui, which is a compound of the words mountain and water. According to the percept of the grand imperial parks -miniaturised landscape inspired by big remarkable natural huge sites, showing the essence (the soul) of the object rather than its appearance- we retained for this garden a 3D pictogram with the outlines of the country and its 10 main rivers transposed by opened lines. The composing grid is a web of linear structures, referencing these infinite linear works present everywhere in the history of China in the way of wandering the grand natural sites or of protecting. The garden takes shape in this series of profiles from where the visitor, by their wandering, discovers singular apparition according to the seasons. The combination of these profiles slow down the capacities of garden from the detail of a reflection in a puddle until the masses fluctuating under the wave of the wind.
