October 22: help stack in new housing development in Heerenveen

On Wednesday, October 22, between 10:00 and 13:00, local residents and volunteers will be stacking Le Roy walls at the new construction project "Mooi yn 't Wiid" in the Skoatterwâld neighborhood in Heerenveen.

In the Skoatterwâld new-build neighborhood in Heerenveen, they are crazy about Le Roy.

In this new construction project by Zwanenburg, the transition from the homes to the adjacent small park is formed by a low wall based on the principles of Le Roy. For this project, developer Zwanenburg opted not for traditional boundary fences, but for a natural transition from private gardens to public green space. And best of all; they will be stacking this themselves, together with the new residents.

Enthusiastic and want to contribute too? You can!

Builders from Stichting de Tijd working on the ecocathedral of Mildam and Heerenveen will be present at 'Stapelgek Skoatterwald' with their knowledge and expertise. This takes place during the autumn break on Wednesday, October 22, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Anyone who wants to put Le Roy's theory into practice is warmly welcome to come and help stack in Heerenveen.

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.

" For a proper understanding of what is written, it must always be borne in mind that when nature is mentioned, natural processes are *always* meant, but never nature in its temporary form ." Louis G. Le Roy ( 1924 - 2012 )

" When we build, let us remember that we are building for eternity. Let it not be for present pleasure, nor for present use only; let it be such a work that our descendants will be grateful to us for it ." John Ruskin (1819–1900)
