In the past, Almaty was one of the cities located along the Silk Road, a commercial route that linked two different worlds: the west and the east, Asia and Europe. Nowadays, we can magine the route as a long trip across different cultures and landscapes.
The new proposed garden could be understood as a metaphor of the Silk Road or as a piece of land, which represents Europe and Asia. Here in the garden it will be possible to find a network of paths that reminds the roads of the original Route, and it is possible to visit all these types of forest that a merchant could find during the journey. Offering to the visitor the possibility of having a similar experience
