The Roots of the Future

garden artwork // Luxembourg

For LUGA 2025, “The Roots of the Future” is a temporary garden in the form of a landscape sculpture, overlooking the Alzette valley in the garden of LUCA – Luxembourg Center for Architecture, on the former site of the Clausen brewery.

At the foot of the planted cliff, giant steel roots emerge from the vertical garden and reach out towards the valley. Hops and climbing plants twine around them and climb them. A timber deck, drawn like a map and cut into by the plants, welcomes visitors, walkers and young gardeners across 40 × 15 m.

UOTNI carried out the technical design and built the steel structure.
