Salt Garden proposes a small garden centred on an existing ruin, defined by a series of radial boundaries extending from it. These limits establish a clear separation between the ruin and the surrounding landscape, while simultaneously reinforcing its presence by giving it a sense of centrality and orientation. Within the ruin, a compact garden is introduced, composed of vegetation typical of local salt pans. This garden acts as a microcosm of the wider landscape, bringing together ecological, historical, and aesthetic layers. It recalls both the site’s past and the condition of a landscape shaped by human intervention yet gradually naturalised over time. Rather than preserving the ruin as a static object, Salt Garden frames it as a site for reinterpretation. By repositioning its relationship to the surrounding landscape, the project opens new readings of its meaning and suggests alternative approaches to preservation that emerge from engagement rather than fixation.
