Abstract: Painter, Luis Zarate, has developed an unusual career in the design and construction of public spaces, specifically plazas and gardens. This documents these projects. The most monumental being the ethnobotanic garden project of the ex-convent of Santo Domingo de Guzmán. The garden joins the monastic pattern of the walled garden (hortus conclusus) with the secular, open and paradisical garden (hortus delicarum). His ecological explorations have led him at present to design a landscape project at the Museo Laberinto de la Ciencia, in San Luis Potosí (museum architect is architects Legoretta); The Parque Fundador II in Nuevo León, a seetting for the realization of outdoor expositions and performances within the fram of the Segundo Foro Mundial de las Culturas; Guiengola, in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec; Parque San Francisco Puebla; and the design for the very political and failed project for the Zócalo in Oaxaca.
