Art cannot only give a quarter an upgrade, it can also make it greener. Marc Nagtzaam proved this with his piece for the Standaert site in Ledeberg. Although it’s the artist’s first work of art to be displayed in a public space, it has a tremendous impact on the entire site’s atmosphere.
The Dutch artist designed a structure for climbing plants to grow on. The grids were installed at both entrances to the Standaertsite and bring the walls to life. Trees were planted here and there to reinforce the effect. The result is an additional green meeting place in Ledeberg.
