This garden is a terrestrial space garden, situated within an assumed dome, on planet Mars. The garden belongs to an astronaut on a 600-day tour and explores the psychological importance of man’s relationship with his environment.
600 Days with Bradstone has been inspired by the Millennium and a new era in scientific and design idioms. The garden has been researched for eight years with input from the European Space Agency (ESA), which is researching the psychological effects of spending long periods in space, and the British Science Museum. All materials and construction processes are within the realms of scientific possibility.
