Park' Dein Park

With a planted loading area of an "Ape", the authors of this idea want to set an example against monofunctional use of street space as parking space. The Ape can be used flexibly as a mobile green space in various parking lots.

Planning context ★★★★★
Spatial Planning Context:
The project takes up the concept of "parklets," in which parking lots are temporarily transformed into open spaces with increased quality of stay. As a vehicle, it can be placed extremely flexibly in terms of space and time.

Thematic planning context:
The planted loading area calls on imitators* to appropriate and collectively use other, monofunctionally used parking spaces with mobile greenery in the form of "parking". In this way, the potential of these areas in the street space is to be made clear and a rethinking for more green in the city is to be promoted.
