Decoding the plan of Versailles is an interesting exercise for a summer
evening. The analysis concerns the structure of the garden with its symmetry and geometrical shapes, the Grand Canal, the network of rectilinear paths, parterres, groves and pools. The garden is developed along a central axis that converges on the palace. The palace attracts all lines and all lines originate from the palace.
Across
the Channel, the plan of the garden at Stowe offers a meandering path
with a series of pictures, different perspectives, follies, water, lawns
and clump of trees. It is a circuit where walk and learn, curved lines
that do not depend on the centre.
In France, the absolute power of the king, in England a constitutional monarchy both reflected in the structure of these two gardens, in the economical and cultural choices, in everyday life.
Now, as then. Chirstian Monjou explores and underlines the parallels between the organization of our companies and that of these two iconic gardens. He suggests a different point of view to observe our world, solutions to overcome a period of crisis and stagnation retracing, with engaging and amusing words, the history of gardens.
A useful exercise in a summer evening.
