The colloquium "Buçaco, Caxias, Pena: Sacred and Secular Concepts in Portuguese Gardens and Parks from the 16th to the 19th Century" is part of the lecture series "All Times, All Lands: World and Nature in the Garden", which presents new research on garden art since the early modern period. The formulation that "all times and all countries" are brought together and evoked in gardens ("tous les temps et tous les lieux", Carmontelle, 1779) referred to the Anglo-Chinese garden of the late 18th century. Moreover, a transboundary potential of any garden conception is named here. The design of the natural terrain and the use of plants as well as the artistic layout and furnishings transform gardens into heterotopic spaces.

With contributions by Iris Lauterbach, Nadja Horsch (Leipzig), Hubertus Fischer (Berlin) and Marta Oliveira Sonius (Berlin)
