On the far left: Looks like a climbing product for young children.Simple materials and assembly.Indian workers setting up the pop-up structure for Archifest. Boards were pinned and hammered together to form one platform.Construction worker hanging on the wire frame to set up chords of some sort. The danger is an issue when it comes to large setups for large events. For small setups, keep in mind the level of difficulty to set up structures.Materials: Old palettes, nails, bottles of water and soil.Parklets encourage people to stay outdoors, provides a place to hang out.
Building on what is available as an outdoor leisure in urban space:
Safety is an issue in setup;
Multiple layers of engagement after drawing someone into the location to interact with it, how do I make people dwell a little longer? How much privacy shall it give to encourage different types of people who want to interact less? ;
Aesthetics: even when the work is in progress, it is designed to look aesthetically photogenic and interesting, the process of setting up leads up to the opening of the show.
