What
The park space will be built with all scrap cloths knitted together. This is a unique concept which I came up with and its inspired from Zori's (Japanese flip-flops) knitting pattern.
The colors are all carefully chosen to blend; green, beige and other neutral
color palette. Fabrics include cotton, polyester, wool, plastic and paper bags, T-shirts
and so on.
In order to create a three dimensional effect, the bamboo and the traffic cones will be
placed on the corners, which will be also covered with the fabrics continuously knitted from the
ones on the ground.
Some small toys, birds and butterfly will be used to decorate the space. Cardboards will be placed underneath to avoid the cloths getting wet or damaged, and they also pad the ground when sitting to make "Zori".
We also will use magazine paper for recycle concept as decoration on the green mat and back stand wall creating butterflies, beetles, some nature things -- Origami method.
