Doxiadis' project
Plants do not exist by themselves, but are part of a soil food web comprising multiple interconnected organisms—and indeed, multiple kingdoms. We humans tend to believe the value lies in the plants, when in fact the center of life on land is the soil. This miniature garden speaks about the soil not as a surface, but as a four‑dimensional living system. The plants, their roots, and the organisms in the soil form a single unit. This living soil system is expressed through the shape of the garden’s container-object, as well as through visible areas of soil that reveal these processes.
