Breathing In, Time Out (The Green Energy Landmark) 2004 Jeroen van Westen Lamby Way, Cardiff (Landfill Site) Research and development towards the project began in 1999 through Grounds for Change, CBAT’s subsidiary company which produces projects with an environmental accent, funded through a landfill tax credit scheme contribution from Cardiff County Council and a donation by Tesco. The project was made possible through a Landfill Tax Credit Contribution from Cardiff County Council and a donation from Tesco Stores as well as in-kind support from Arup. The project also encouraged further commissions to artists by Tesco for works highlighting issues related to recycling and waste management, as well as the establishment of a PhD Research Studentship Award for an artist at the School of Art & Design, UWIC. ‘Breathing in, Time Out’ was designed to respond to the nature of its location: Lamby Way landfill site. Integrating recycled materials and by-products from domestic refuse, the structure comprises a 15 metre long channel in the hillside overlooking the river Rhymney. This channel is glazed with a transparent roof suggesting a greenhouse embedded in the land, allowing visitors to literally look into the hillside. This intervention comes to a point at its front rising from the hillside to a height of around 1.5 metres. A large blue plastic ellipse is visible at its front suggesting an eye, surrounded by a 35 metre frieze that tapers around the hillside in both directions.
