Abstract
The informal settlement of Kaluđerica (RS) is characterised by a lack of public space, yet, with an abundance of 'residual spaces'. Spaces that are left vacant due to the irregular development of the settlement. The project entails a proposal for a collective garden for one of these residual spaces: to bring people together over the possibility to harvest and care for homegrown produce. And in this sense, to act as a tool of integration from which other communal initiatives might blossom as well.
