Bik-o-Garden

“The ‘garden’ is an elegant, sculptural form that occupies the footprint of a typical parking space. Within that car-sized rectangle, a slim slot houses a retro looking bike – an effective visual reminder of how much room is devoted to parking in modern American cities. The garden uses plant materials and construction techniques found in green roof and bio filtration systems, offering a poetic avenue for pondering the connection between paved surface run-off and water quality.” From the 4culture blog by TINA4CULTURE, May 2011
