Parks in urban places have generally been envisioned as oases from fast-paced city life, as preserves shaded from modern technology and development where you can quietly read a book with the birds.
By definition, we draw lines around parks: nature belongs on one side, civilization on the other. A London-based company called Invisible Works, however, is trying to change this thinking. The firm hopes to fill a park in central London next year with semi-permanent “biomimetic” infrastructure that would enable live music shows, restaurants, movie screenings, and other multimedia productions. Their concept would transform how people interact with urban green space, dramatically upping the ante on the old public park band shell. “A lot of people who look at parks think they should be untouched, unspoiled places,” says Ed Shuster, the project’s director.
