On a construction site in the Copenhagen suburb of Herlev, a strange transparent bulb is home to The Garden Caretakers, who interpret a being of place - and welcome the citizens of the area to a dialogue about their community, nature and the transformation of their environment. The site is one of eight lighthouse demonstrators of the EU-wide Desire project, Desire an Irresistible Circular Society, which itself is part of a larger New European Bauhaus initiative.
