12.5 m² – Design x Vegetation for the Common Good

Seven emerging designers transform parking bays into site-specific installations that imagine alternative uses for reclaimed urban space. Combining design, planting and crafted structures, the works explore collective wellbeing, ecological practice and public appropriation of infrastructure. Installations range from modular seating and planted interventions to sculptural landscapes that reframe parking as communal terrain. The project foregrounds collaboration between landscape and design, inviting reflection on everyday spatial commons and small-scale ecological strategies.

Opening (booking required): Tuesday 26 May, 12:00

John M Armleder presents an interchange-based exhibition that foregrounds objects drawn from students’ suitcases. Through object-based works and subtle interventions, the show probes modes of observation, intimacy and collective memory. Personal belongings are rearranged as visual prompts that evoke histories, pedagogy and everyday cinematics. The artist’s restrained interventions invite reflection on how small domestic items circulate meanings and facilitate encounters, revealing how private narratives surface within a communal field of attention.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s herbarium, compiled in the 1770s for the printer-bookseller Charles-Joseph Panckoucke, is presented through preserved pressed specimens, its original catalogue and related botanical publications. The historical collection combines scientific observation and aesthetic arrangement, revealing Enlightenment approaches to collecting, classification and the popularisation of plant study. Detailed notes and annotations illuminate Rousseau’s techniques and the materiality of specimens, inviting reflection on how personal curiosity and scholarly networks shaped early modern natural history.

Diego Cibelli presents an exhibition that considers notions of futurity and personal trajectory. Through a practice that blends installation, photographic fragments and sculptural assemblage, Cibelli interrogates memory, migration and the acts of anticipating life to come. The works deploy found materials, layered imagery and subtle spatial interventions to create a provisional narrative space where biography, material traces and collective histories converge.
