PARK(ing)
In an odd-but-cool project, someone(s) called “rebar” created “a temporary urban park“. This is strangely fascinating to me. Their website actually doesn’t explain very well what was done (I take that back—the text doesn’t, but the pictures do), but it sounds like they scouted out an ideal parking spot (good sun being the ideal quality, apparently), paid the meter for the spot for 2 hours, and hauled in park “things”: sod, a bench, a table, and a tree (potted). I really like their summary:
The initial PARK(ing) intervention occurred on November 16, 2005 from noon until 2 p.m., without incident or interference from any level of institutional authority. Sort of makes you wonder what else you can do in a parking space . . .
This is definitely thinking outside the box, and it certainly improved the neighborhood for those couple of hours. It does make me wonder what other creative people could end up doing with a parking space. Any suggestions?
