Architecture
An urban design precedent demonstrating how temporary, participatory installations using low-cost materials can temporarily transform street asphalt into a vibrant civic play space.
- What we like about this project
- Festive streamers and shimmering foil details integrated into rough cardboard columns, transforming raw waste materials into festive civic architecture.

- Geometry
- An open urban asphalt plane densely populated with clusters of makeshift temporary structures, creating an informal radial and distributed spatial layout.
- Structural guess
- Improvised timber poles and cardboard frames supporting draped textiles.
- Spatial scale
- Human street scale populated by adults and children interacting with miniature structures roughly one to two meters in height.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight casting soft shadows from people and temporary structures across the asphalt ground.
- Atmosphere
- Playful, active, and socially engaged public atmosphere under bright daylight.
- Environmental context
- Urban street bounded by a vibrant purple and green metal fence and historic architectural elements.
- Spatial experience
- A lively, participatory street space where children and adults move between improvised installations, blurring boundaries between public pavement and collective play.
- Composition rhythm
- Scattered cluster composition of individual tent-like structures creating multiple social hubs across the ground plane.
