A Regulatory Bouquet
This document proposes a new boardroom for the CTGB (the Board for the Authorisation of Plant Protection Products and Biocides). The CTGB currently operates in a generic office building, from which the regulation of nature becomes professionalized and withdrawn from its proper constituencies. Where is the soil, the water, and the plants, when these decisions are being made?
This project considers the floral bouquet, whose industrial production represents a triumph of ecological domination. Accordingly, the new boardroom turns to the feral bouquet-- when the bouquet spills beyond its intended framing of beauty-- and sees these moments of spillage as a site of fecundity.
The resultant enclosure inculcates a new regulatory ecology, in which bureaucrats are joined by the water and soil to produce new synergies and new publics. From the sunken space, the architecture offers a sensibility of abdication to destabilize institutions of environmental regulation.
