Lectures on ecocathedrals

If you would like to know more about the thinking behind ecocathedrals, symbiotic cities, and the philosophy of Le Roy, you can contact us for a lecture where photos taken in Mildam and Heerenveen over the years will be shown.

New eco-cathedrals

Want to start an ecocathedral process yourself in a public space or on private property? You can! We would even welcome it; we are currently unique, but we would like to see that change. Contact us for advice.

Visual material

We can also help you if you are looking for images related to ecocathedrals. You are sure to find the right photo you are looking for in our extensive photo archive!

Call for old photos

We are looking for old photos from the early years of the garden. If you have these in an album, or perhaps even digitally, we would love to hear from you!

Want to help out?

Would you like to work as a volunteer on the Heerenveen ecocathedral? You can!
Get in touch , and we'll see what you like and what you can do.
Or come by sometime on a Wednesday morning. We are often working there then.

Other long-term art projects

Various artists have been inspired in one way or another by the long term, also known as cathedral thinking. A number of interesting examples:

  1. The Letters of Utrecht (02000 - as long as there are Saturdays): a poem that is written letter by letter every Saturday in the city center of Utrecht using stones.
  2. The Time Pyramid of Manfred Laber in Wemdinge, Germany
  3. The Future Library (02014 - 02114) of Katie Paterson in Oslo, Denmark.
  4. The Longplayer at Trinity Buoy Wharf in London, a musical piece that lasts 100 years and has been playing since January 1, 2000.
  5. The Tropfenstein machine (01996–02496) with which a stalactite is made in a museum in Hamburg.

"Voor een goed begrip van hetgeen geschreven wordt, moet steeds worden bedacht dat wanneer de natuur ter sprake komt daar dan stééds natuurlijke processen mee bedoeld worden, maar nooit de natuur in haar tijdelijke verschijningsvorm". Louis G. Le Roy ( 01924 - 02012 )

"Als we bouwen, laten we dan bedenken dat we voor de eeuwigheid bouwen. Laat het niet zijn voor het huidige genot, nog voor het huidige gebruik alleen; Laat het een zodanig werk zijn dat onze nakomelingen ons er dankbaar voor zijn". John Ruskin ( 01819 - 01900 )
