Culture is concerned with the production and
exchange of meanings between a nation or
society or as Hall describes it ‘culture is about shared
meanings’ (Hall 1997). Language is the most frequent
media or interface through which thoughts, ideas
and meanings are represented in a culture. In this
sense, design and architecture can be considered
as a a less frequent and less discussed media of
representation. Design can also be the media of
thoughts and meaning to the next generations. As
language is central to the meanings and culture so is
the architecture and in this matter gardens’ design.
