Sensing the Natural Place


Pleasant aromas from vegetation in Monesteroli are mapped in the Smell Map.
With time passing, plants blossom, fruit, wilt, give different smells. Time changes, smell changes, our feeling changes.
Smells are born in the place, so are the feelings we experience there. The place whispers its desired form of new things.
The east-western going pathway from the landcsape climbing stairs to an abandoned terrace has potentiality to enhance the relation among nature, human, and scents. By introducing minimal punctual interventions this path way can become a garden of senses.
