PARK(ing) Day project published in “Owning the Street”

INTERSTICE Architects’ PARK(ing) Day project(s) have been included in Amelia Thorpe’s new book, Owning the Street: The Everyday Life of Property, published by MIT Press. INTERSTICE has been creating spaces for PARK(ing) Day, the annual event for over a decade – re-claiming urban parking spaces for use as mini parks. Thorpe explores how the local & the personal, belonging & ownership, all intersect to shape a city.  PARK(ing) Day acts as the creative reimagining of the property “produced” by paying a parking meter to effectively “lease” a temporary Public space.  Through these Installations, INTERSTICE creates each year a Mini-Park for people to enjoy in the middle of the city.
