The Modern Garden at the Deutsche Schule Valencia. Analysis for a Graphical Project Hypothesis

The Deutsche Schule Valencia is part of the group of buildings designed by the Bundesbaudirektion in Berlin to encourage the expansion of German culture abroad. In 1959 a preliminary project was drawn up in Bonn and sent to Valencia where it was finally developed. The architects Pablo Navarro and Julio Trullenque will oversee adapting the German model to the execution project. Using German materials and technology, its execution is completed with the contribution of local finishes and techniques. It is worth mentioning the participation of the Menorcan landscape architect, Nicolau María Rubió Tudurí for the design of the gardening project. From the exchange of correspondence between the intervening technicians, found in a historical archive, the project of the garden is extracted in an unprecedented way, which is designed to give continuity to the big apple occupied by the volumes that make it up. But among all the documents found, the plan of this project is not obtained. This paper shows a deductive method that analyzes the information found from this project, as well as the graphics used in the plans of other projects of the landscaper to establish graphic guidelines that could have been used for the garden project.
