The relation between the garden and the house
The aim of the conference series is to compare the uses, practices and techniques applied in the gardens of Europe and East Asia.

Alongside a certain form of universality in the function of the garden (pleasure, display of power, ceremonial, reclusion but also production), the scholars are questioning, from one continent to another, the extraordinary diversity of the elements that make up a garden, of the forms and devices that implement it and of the representations that express its nature.
