Today is shared between two national holidays : Talk Like a Pirate Day and Park(ing) Day
I chose to celebrate both.
Arrrr. Park(ing) Day is intended to show the public how much of our city is used and occupied by cars instead of open park space. Our office decided that we wanted to make our own park on the street. Here are a few pictures of the set up this morning.
--Our design concept is based on the idea of giving cars and parking a ‘rest’ for a day and making a park in which to linger and enjoy. A tire on its side (at rest) becomes a planter, or a seat… In our design tires are arranged in a simple grid with breaks in it, just as the rigidity of cities need a ‘break’ for circulation, recreation, and relaxation…
Now where's me rum?
