Park(ing) Day

The 16th was Park(ing) day! The idea behind this activity is to transform a city parking space to park for a day. The message is not just for saving the nature, it is also a call for more breathing space in the city. For us students at Art & Technology it was a school project as well and loooooots of fun!!! We moved it to 17th of September, Saturday, hoping to get more attention from the people of Aalborg.

So Saturday morning 9 groups of students occupied 9 parking lots and started doing their thing.

In my group we covered an old car with grass and leafs and let it disappear.

A little bird with movement sensor was singing for us every time we walk by :)

Our "give aways" basket full of little packages with seeds.

A Wishing tree grew next to us. Just write what you wish for in your city on one of the leafs ;)

Coffee and hot chocolate are served in our neighbour's park(ing) garden

Few meters down - you can play mini golf :)

Here the car is caught in the act of killing a tree

In another parking lot a nature creature comes out of the ground

Beautiful little garden

The Baloons Park comes to show you that every action has a consequence and sometimes what is lost is lost forever like a hot air baloon in the sky...

The "sick" tree

Soon our car became park itself with people sitting on top of it enjoying... well not the weather!

Paper flowers grew on it

The wishing tree next to us grew new wishes...

Like these....

Finally packing...
