In the process of urbanisation, continuous urban development has led to serious ecological problems in cities. Working with spontaneous urban plants presents a novel opportunity for introducing vegetation into urban areas, beyond traditional urban landscape designs.

This design is based in the port of Duisburg, a city with a long industrial history. The design utilises an abandoned part of Duisport and simulates different urban environments by utilising urban debris and building materials on-site to create micro-environments suited to the growth of different spontaneous plants. This project incorporates different community functions, such as urban foraging and outdoor classrooms, serving as an urban experimental site to explore the possibilities of spontaneous plants in cities.
