Honorable Mention

Nomad Garden S.L.

Nomad Garden is working to rethink alliances between humans and non-humans by developing projects and tools that enhance their value.

About Project

Gardens in the Air are a project carried out in Sevilla, a hot and dry city with 82.6% of air conditioner penetration rate. Its main activity is creating gardens by using about two liters of water generated from air conditioner operation every hour.

In the Gardens in the Air installed on the exterior walls of an old building, plants suitable for the local environment were planted. These gardens also serve as fountains for local birds in the area.

Centering around these Gardens in the Air, there are other activities on-going, such as a workshop on making perfume using local plants, namely tangerine trees, and composing polyphony music by capturing human and non-human sounds.
