With a new set of drawings, Berezowski explores the garden theme as an essential component of villa projects. Introduced primarily by Raphael through his tableaus for Villa Madama, this study attempts to restablish the artistic and expressive complexity of the relationship between construction and site in an historical context: from the Imperial Roman period to the Renaissance, then again from absolutist France to neo-Palladian England. He reinterprets it in terms of the changes in priority that have characterized contemprary living.
