Walk the Green Carpet
Public artists Gaëlle Villedary helped the French village of Jaujac celebrate the 10th year of its arts and nature trail programs by cutting a new green path through its city center. Using some 168 rollers of turf grass, spanning 420 meters (or nearly 1,400 feet), the public artists wound 3.5 tons of natural material through the streets of the old town.
According to Landezine, one goal of the project was to connect the heart of the village” to the valley’s rich natural setting. In this instance, the path is itself a “piece of nature” designed to create a “communion between nature and man through art.”

How to convert an old malt factory into a rooftop farm? Take inspiration from Berlin where in September three young people started the planning of the project Frisch vom Dach (Fresh from the roof), an aquaponics farm in Schöneberg district: both fish and vegetables will be produced and distributed on-site. And while the research of funds is going on, on the roof now there is a small prototype out of an upcycled shipping container, which is currently producing fish and vegetables.
