Dutch Design Week 2020 – Online Talent Tours. A visit to the forest in Klarenbeek that we try to remediate in collaboration with natural processes.
Research
Dead Wood Alive investigates the value of dead wood. The past years there is a raised awareness about the bad influence of monocultures on biodiversity and the impact of climate change on a landscape that consists out of a limited amount of species. We see forests as a source of life, but still a lot of woods are having a hard time to thrive.
Fallen branches and trunks are gathered from the forest. The wood is dead, dried but also vividly alive. A lot of the biodiversity we can not see at first sight, but in the holes and cavities all kinds of insects and fungi live.
