The project aims to stimulate both biodiversity and social accessibility of residual spaces through minimum interventions consisting of 0.5-1-meter diameter ‘planetoids’ that support the life that is already existing at respective locations as well as initiate new life.
By studying micro-climates typical of the leftover spaces, new habitats are developed for various animal and plant species. The interventions take shape in form of 0.5-1-meter diameter ‘planetoids’ placed on different locations where all living things are
