A being of place - Madeleine Kate McGowan

On a construction site in the Copenhagen suburb of Herlev a strange transparent bulb is home to garden care takers, 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 light house demonstrators of the EU-wide Desire project, Desire an Irresistible Circular Society, which itself is part of a larger New European Bauhaus initiative. 

This is the Desire Academy podcast series, where Desire members, staff and academics share knowledge about the Desire sites around Europe - and how to transform our society to be more circular and irresistible. 

In this very first episode is the woman at the core of the garden care takers in Herlev and utilizer of the being of place idea, Madeleine Kate McGowan of the NXT communication and innovation bureau.
