- [00:00:09.566]Today is parking day.
- [00:00:10.907]It's an annual global event
- [00:00:12.236]in which activists, designers and community members
- [00:00:14.994]design installations for parking stalls around the world.
- [00:00:17.994]And what you're seeing here
- [00:00:19.097]is College of Architecture students
- [00:00:20.265]who've created nine stalls
- [00:00:22.094]in which they are to create a public amenity
- [00:00:26.130]for the city for a day.
- [00:00:28.014]Well, this is our social seating experiment here.
- [00:00:31.032]What we've made is an area
- [00:00:32.962]where people can gather together and sit
- [00:00:34.626]in a former parking stall turned public space for the day.
- [00:00:38.927](laughing)
- [00:00:40.621]So the structure itself is made of recycled pallets,
- [00:00:43.954]wooden pallets that we've deconstructed
- [00:00:45.528]and reconstructed to make this structure.
- [00:00:47.735]And then we've got rigid insulation foam on top.
- [00:00:50.570]And then it's all covered in this spandex knit fabric.
- [00:00:54.118]Well, the hope of it is that students are able
- [00:00:55.765]to see a project through from design and ideation
- [00:00:59.184]through prototyping and into construction.
- [00:01:01.535]We're hoping that it gets picked
- [00:01:03.333]by one of the architecture firms
- [00:01:04.789]to be displayed for awhile.
- [00:01:06.229]If not, one of our team members really is keen
- [00:01:09.541]on taking it back to his house.
