architectural/practice The garden has never been natural. It has been an artificial as taxidermal nature like parks in urbanism. However, the gardens in Korea, where the apartment is a major residential type, could be newly defined as a natural space.

The “balcony-gardens” today collectively occupy a much larger surface area and volume within the city compared to the pseudo-natural gardens, including urban parks. These balcony-gardens are currently reshaping the metropolitan nature even without the top-down intention of re-introducing nature into cities. This provokes the question: is this garden artificial or natural, then?
