rus en urbe: garden in the city

Research output: Non-textual formArtefact

Abstract

Our domestic landscapes bear witness to the scars of European settlement, land-clearing practices, development, localised gardening movements and, increasingly, the effects of climate change. A viewer approaches a plinth containing a tablet device and a receipt printer. They enter their urban address on the tablet and receive a printed receipt depicting indigenous plant species from the specified location and predictions for future plant growth in an increasingly warmer climate. The receipt represents the throw-away nature of current societal trends, but its contents represent a step towards the regeneration of the urban environment.
