Selina Denman – July 23, 2015: When he came to design the 6.8-hectare Aga Khan Park in Toronto, the Lebanon-based landscape architect Vladimir Djurovic took his cues from age-old Islamic gardens around the world, creating a space that is designed to both captivate and act as a catalyst for change, Selina Denman writes
Before coming up with his design for the Aga Khan Park in Toronto, Canada, the Lebanon-based landscape architect Vladimir Djurovic visited traditional Islamic gardens around the world – from Humayun’s Tomb in New Delhi to Alhambra’s courtyard garden in Granada, Spain. His aim was not to mimic these historic examples, but instead to capture “more what you feel and smell and hear”, he explains.
