DescriptionDescription: Piper’s proposal for remodelling the cascades at Drottningholm is admittedly not meant for the theatre, but in terms of perspective it wholly resembles scenography on a theatre stage. This reminds us that garden design involved many effects that were fully visible on theatre stages.
