"Gardens of Earthly Delights: a comparative analysis of historic and contemporary parks’ realisation of design intentions"^^ . "This thesis compares two parks in Milan: the Giardini (Gardens) Indro Montanelli, constructed back in \r\n1784, and the Biblioteca degli Alberi (Library of Trees), opened in 2018. The research is comprised of an \r\nin-depth qualitative review of both parks along a variety of factors, wherein the parks form the \r\ncomparative material for each other’s respective analyses. For the theoretical framework, theory about \r\nthe production of space and the relationship between design intentions, realised design and user \r\nexperience is outlined, and a historic overview of park design paradigms’ development is developed, \r\nfrom the earliest urban parks in formal and picturesque fashion to today’s post-industrial parks. Guided \r\nby these theories, the parks are analysed regarding designers’ intentions for use and perception, these \r\nintentions’ translation into design, and the resulting use and perception by users. Hereby, \r\nmanifestations of the stylistic, ideological and aesthetic ideals of the respective historic schools of park \r\ndesign are uncovered, and the coherence between the parks’ stated design intentions and the realised \r\ndesign and user experience is assessed, serving planners’ and designers’ creation of better future urban \r\nparks. A mix of methods is used, ranging from discourse analysis of historic texts to interviews with \r\ndesigners and surveys among park visitors. The conclusion discusses the degree of ‘success’ achieved by \r\nthe two parks studied, based on the analysis’ results; the discussion, finally, places these results and \r\nconclusions in the context of the wider themes relevant to this thesis, and offers a critical reflection on \r\ntheir implication for the future of urban parks. Both parks studied are concluded to realise their design \r\nintentions to a large degree, although the contemporary park’s fulfilment of its intentions is hindered by \r\na discrepancy between planners’ and designers’ intentions. In the discussion, this discrepancy is argued \r\nto represent the co-optation of contemporary design ideals regarding sustainability and inclusivity for \r\nplanners’ mobilisation of capital for neoliberal urban development, creating a new park paradigm \r\ncentred around the values of ecomodernism."^^ .
