Summary:

Elucidates the syntax and general rules of design and planning of Nahua gardens in late post-classical times (15th and early 16th centuries) within the central zone of the Mexico basin. Building upon the previous work "Los jardines nahuas prehispánicos," which introduced the attributes and function of these gardens, this volume delves into the formation, distribution, and planning rules of these gardens. It draws from historical documents, codices, and a semiotic approach to analyze the syntax of Nahua gardens, considering them as cultural products embedded within a specific time and space. Highlights the cultural significance of gardens as textual representations dependent on social contexts and offers insights into the evolution of garden concepts in Mexican history.
