Between the two main models of European gardens inherited from the French tradition with its formalist geometries and flowerbeds, and the German and English trends that form part of the broad concept of the wild garden, there is a presence of plant life in contemporary cities that adheres to neither paradigm, drawing instead on overflow and rebellion.

This is nature expanding and creating unexpected possibilities, with green —or, rather, the different greens— configuring a chromatic Pantone that is a riposte to the uniformity of the asphalt.

Jungles of vegetation that are lungs for the city. Prostheses in the form of trees, bushy floral stations and blankets of grass that refuse to remain within the spaces to which they were confined. A certain exuberance seen not as an irreducible counterpoint but as an ecosystem whose absence of norms protects us from the numerous regulations and unequivocal signs that underpin the metropolis.
