The core of the design is an action initiated by people and afterwards left to the biotic and abiotic forces to lead and develop the design themselves. The method used to reach the visual result is ecological succession, which is the process of change in the structure of community of species over time. Both the process and the final appearance are important parts of the project. With the knowledge of plant behaviour, it is possible to create a low-cost project that highlights spatial qualities of industrial heritage as well as revealing the ability of creation of living matter.
