I intend to take a very expanded view of the garden as culture and nature (including small farms, orchards and the landscape of the cities of Lahore and Karachi).
To investigate the possibility of obscured layers of garden practice and concepts that may originate in the land and region itself.
I will include sites in Baltistan as they would seem to have a very different conception of the garden and hopefully I will continue to work there some of this year.
-the poppy fields of the far north, what fantastic gardens they might be?
The current renaming of streets (and prior namings under other administrations) the removal of all Raj statuary and re-appropriation of sites Victoria’s memorial is now Jinnah sister memorial in Lahore).
My emphasis is probably to be on the soft-landscape rather than an analysis of architectural elements, though I’m sure that will form a part of the research.
Perhaps the result would be to argue that the naming of most plants and any particular conception of the garden will always be layered with obscured influence.
