A critical work in the form of rooftop installation designed by Zurich based landscape architect Robin Wiogrond in collaboration with Berabim Landscape architecture as part of the exhibition: "Life, Plant, City: 100 Years of Geddes' Plan for Tel Aviv's Garden City".
The work reflects on how contemporary development pressures are reshaping Tel Aviv’s urban identity, often at the expense of its green character and ecological sustainability. The installation invites visitors to pause and question the principles guiding everyday urban development today. It asks who benefits from current planning practices and whether elements such as greenery, open soil, shade, and airflow are treated as essential urban needs or merely optional amenities.
Using four contrasting materials—plastic grass, dead tree trunks, seating made from construction bags, and a billowing blue shade canopy—the work forms a symbolic collage of contemporary urban conditions. Together these elements point to disappearing trees, blocked breezes, artificial landscapes, and the loss of ecological systems within the city.
