Lorenzburg has a special focus in the areas of Site and Branding and Local perspectives in a Global neighborhood. Through an active and focused work the initial project lays the foundation to the Lorenzburg brand – a place to inhabit and visit. The development project becomes a platform for local production and innovation. The project strives to be a good model for how artists can lead site-specific developmental projects.

It is our vision that all playgrounds and similar public spaces shall be planted only with edible and healthy plants and vegetables.
