Nature in its essence

Abstract

Shelley Egoz, landscape architect, considers whether the Baha', World Centre gardens, Haifa, Israel is symbolic of the religion's relationship with nature. The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizen, is the teaching of the Bah'ullah (The Glory of God), the spiritual founder of the Baha'i faith in mid nineteenth century Iran. The gardens of the Baha'i World Centre in Haifa, Israel, express that philosophy through an extremely meticulous and retentive aesthetic.
