PREHENSILE MEADOW


Make cities green again.

PREHENSILE MEADOW


Make cities green again.
Make cities green again, spaces now invaded by cement and asphalt leave no room for grass. We must insert “plugs” of nature, of green.
File under
Type of project
  • Systemic changes

A “prehensile meadow” prototype is a structure created on a base of natural material (wood) with containment supports on the edges, where sown land is placed.
The placement of these “pieces” in specific places, characterized by the absence of green spaces, structures suspended by thin steel cables, nature that no longer conquers land but space. Grass removed also from the interstices of walls, sidewalks, then takes revenge and creates a suspended world above us, where no one can step on it (that no one can tread).

The sharp angles of the triangular shape are made to wedge spaces.
The temporal succession, sowing, growth, death, marks the passing of life and the natural occurrence, not determined by the human will.
