Greenwich: science ensemble also includes the park

In a few sentences

In brief

The buildings for marine and scientific activities are read as a common spatial composition.

Useful to know

The Maritime Greenwich unites buildings and a park related to English science and art in the 17th-XVIII century. UNESCO points to Inigo Jones' Queens House, Christopher Wren's complex, and the old observatory associated with Wren and Robert Hooke. [1]

Do not view the observatory as the only significant object. Compare the location of the individual buildings to the open areas. This allows to see how scientific function, representative architecture and landscape participate together. The different authors and purposes remain important, even if the ensemble is perceived as a single view.
