地中海东部阿拉伯语国家将花园称为jnaina或"小天堂"。在闪米特语中，这个jana的缩略形式可以互换使用，既可以指花园，也可以指天堂。jnaina，是植物在有序的构成中的精致策划，是天堂的缩影。它是一个有序的个人境界，是一个更大的生态愿望中的一小块，把一个世界看成是一个连续的有组织的生命领域。
The Arabic-speaking countries of the eastern Mediterranean refer to a garden as jnaina or ‘little paradise’. This diminutive form of jana in Semitic languages is used interchangeability for both garden and for heaven. The jnaina, a delicate curation of plants in an ordered composition, is a fulfillment of heaven in miniature. It is an ordered personal realm, a small piece of a larger ecological aspiration to see a world as a continuous field of organized life.
这种人间天堂的愿景在干旱的背景下是合适的，因为它使天堂成为一个没有匮乏和不稳定的地方。随着现代国家的出现，许多这些愿望与殖民者对中东青翠的愿景相一致。在黎凡特和海湾地区，阿拉伯的大部分景观都是一个继承的幻想：修剪整齐的草坪，青翠的后退--只有通过提供淡化和处理过的水，才有可能实现的关怀和丰饶的概念。
This vision of heaven on earth is appropriate in an arid context, as it makes heaven a place without scarcity or precarity. With the advent of the modern state many of these aspirations aligned with a colonial vision for a verdant Middle East. Much of the Arabian landscape in the Levant and the Gulf is an inherited fantasy: the well mowed lawn, the verdant setback – notions of care and fecundity that are only made possible by the availability of desalinated and treated water.
In Jordan the questions of landscape and developmental aspiration are interlinked, they both ask how paradise can be re-imagined in one of the world’s most water scarce countries. It is in this context that for Amman Design Week, Civil Architecture and studiolibani present a prototype for a waterless public garden: a provocation set against both the Arab ideal of the garden as heaven and against colonial notions of modern landscape. The installation, titled: ‘Minor Paradises’, asks how the public garden can be used as a way to rethink scarcity and ultimately, paradise.
