Gym: Respiration Garden

In the "Home Climate Gardens" series, Janice Kerbel employs the language of architectural design to present us with extensively researched and planned site-specific gardens that explore our relationship to nature and urban design. Conceived during her residency at the University of East Anglia's Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, "Home Climate Gardens" proposes gardens tailored to various work and living spaces, including a student's bookcase, a revolving restaurant, and a launderette. Kerbel does not intend to actually construct the gardens: the proposals are completed works in themselves, which create a tension between the reality of the drawing or project and the fiction of its existence.
