Park[ing] Project

Park[ing], by REBAR, an open-source interdisciplinary collaborative group of creators, designers and activists based in San Francisco, investigates the reprogramming of a typical unit of private vehicular space by leasing a metered parking spot for public recreational activity.

"We identified a site in an area of downtown San Francisco that is underserved by public outdoor space and located in an ideal, sunny spot between the hours of noon and 2 pm. There we installed a small, temporary public park that provided nature, seating and shade. Our goal was to transform a parking spot into a Park[ing] space, thereby temporarily expanding the public realm and improving the quality of the urban human habitat - at least until the meter ran out."(from Space craft:fleeting architecture and hideouts )
