We need 5 consecutive days of 25° Celsius of which 3 consecutive days of 30° Celsius to have a heat wave.
Well.., we’re not there yet, but we’re melting already.
To keep The Ever Waste Land fertile and healthy we’ve installed a big water tank in the garden. Projects such as ‘spira-dye‘ by Bartaku, ‘Playground 0:1:1,2‘ by Isabelle Pauwelyn and ‘the Brave Little Forest’ by Bernard Leroy really needed that.
Spira-dye is a plant spiral that contains a selection of plants (mainly berries) with strong color dye used for the production of solar cells.
Playground 0:1:1,2 is an architectural intervention that opens urban space by gardening. The aim is to create meeting places where people can come together in a temporary and ambiguous and ambiguous haven. Where the projects lead to, is not that important. The participants are outside. That’s enough in itself. Here, the people can play in all earnest, and play with the earnestness, if necessary.
The Brave Little Forest wants to nurture 10 000 trees that had accidentally started growing in bad areas (for trees anyhow) such as in gutters or between the cracks in the concrete. In The Ever Waste Land they can find home in a daycare where they can grow bigger and bigger until they will be planted elsewhere.
I propose a toast. Here’s to them!
