Speaking Gardens

Speaking Gardens is a prototype that aims to increase the social cohesion between inhabitants of the garden city in Winterslag, Genk. Specifically Speaking Gardens is a tube with speakers and a dictaphone inside that’s placed in a resident’s front yard.

The resident can record a personal and friendly message with the device intended for their neighbors. Therefore, Speaking Gardens is actually a conversation starter for neighbors.

Genk obviously has a rich mining history, but did you know the city is also a legendary musical hub? Follow the beat in Genk’s rich music scene with my project “Muzikant Rijk Genk”.
