«This is the most extreme and long - term hope Detroit offers us: The hope that we can reclaim what we
paved over and poisoned, that
nature will not punish us, that it will welcome us home - not with the landscape that was here when we arrived, perhaps, but with land that is alive, lush and varied all the same.»
Inspired by other living architecture (weidenbau) contemporaries like Sanfte strukturen and The Greenman Project, van Klooster's aim is to compel people to look at
nature itself as a home, rather than as a mere backdrop to be
paved over for yet another soulless suburbia.
