The project proposes a contemporary interpretation of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, rooted in a Solarpunk aesthetic and philosophy. Inspired by a form of ecological optimism, the work explores scenarios in which living organisms are integrated into urban architecture, suggesting possible futures based on regeneration, biodiversity, and the positive transformation of the environment. An educational component also accompanies the installation, through the identification of the plants presented, with the aim of promoting the dissemination of knowledge about the living world.
