Green Pavilion Vienna, 25-31.08.2018
Ringscape
The “Green Pavilion” is an irregular shaped volume built along the channel of the Danube, in Vienna, that creates a cool, shaded “melting pot” for all the people that pass by its banks. Covered by the yellow net, a sequence of plants lays on wooden shelves and turns the pavilion into a sort of green chamber of wonder.

The plants have been carefully chosen among a worldwide range of aromatic and spice plants in order to send a clear message: although the diversity of cultural settings that coexist within its territory, Vienna is an example of peaceful cohabitation among different communities. The history of the herbstradition clearly shows that. Whether it’s basil or thymus, dill or coriander, all the spice plants exhibited show through their possible usages how one culture is always the result of different cultures successfully melted together.

In each pot, the name of the herb has been substituted with its culinary usages in at least three different countries. This way the visitors could playfully discover how diverse and unexpected the mixitĂŠ culturelle of our countries is. 7
To ensure that the map of the Austrian culinarian cultural mix could be as exhaustive as possible, the people were asked to bring their own experiences, by writing down food recipes or simply stories related to the exhibited spice and aromatic plants.
