Garden of Australian Dreams


The feature that appealed to me the most is that the word 'Home' is written in 100 different languages.
It is referencing how Australia is such a multi-cultural country. This is appeals to me because my mum is a immigrant from Italy.
I believe Richard Weller included this in the GOAD as it is a great part of contemporary Australia.
The Goad is 'Postmodern' landscape architecture as it is diverse, interconnected and complex.
It also represents different things and has multiple meanings. All of which are characteristics of 'Postmodernism'.
