Botanic Park[ing]

The Parking Day design is based on the idea of give back spaces denied. We wanted to give new green spaces, new paths, new recreational areas and seating for relax: a botanic garden.
Inspired by the idea of Tangram, the Chinese puzzle game, we’ve broken the deadlock in five quadrilaterals. These new volumes increased from an initial configuration compact saturating a stall at various spatial configurations occupying different spaces. The elements, in addition to generating new urban routes, may be opened to accommodate the necessary tools for plant care, hold books, give people a chance to relax.
