Friday was national park(ing) day. This is a day intended to help people realize that we need more parks and less parking spaces. Bens program from school (landscape architecture) is involved with this each year. They "take over" parking spots around Logan for the day, to promote awareness. This year Ben's idea was chosen for the downtown parking spot! Naturally his spot was the last one I was able to see....therefore the pictures are in the dark! Side note: they would have been taken in the day light had I not spent the past 4 hours on a take home psychological statistics test with a friend!
The theme was spontaneous regrowth. Meaning the trees want to be here, but the asphalt is inhibiting their growth.
Here are some of his classmates designs:
This was a camping theme. They let students walking by stop and roast marshmallows for s'mores!
Umm this car was covered in grass as you can see.....I forgot to ask what the inspiration was, but I am guess something to do with driving less?
This is the "aspharm"! Pretty clever I think.
Moral of the story: ride the bus, push your local government for less asphalt around, and be just a little more like hippies!
Peace out!!
