Los jardines nahuas prehispánicos

The work rewrites Mexico's pre-Hispanic past through the garden: from its direct sources, based on the interaction between society and landscape, on the meanings of this interaction and its adaptation to the physical-geographical determinants from a new multidisciplinary approach that takes into account its components, social relations and pre-Hispanic cosmogony with an approach that starts from landscape architecture. Thus, this publication introduces us to the pre-Hispanic garden in the landscape of the Valley of Mexico and states that its location and hydraulic infrastructure are the computers of the landscape that function as a "nuclear attribute" which, under the reading in Nahuatl, are related to Tlaloc in a sense that goes beyond his association as god of rain. The book "aims to expose both the attributes of the pre-Hispanic Nahua garden and its function in the basin of Mexico in the late postclassic, as well as its maintenance and location.".
