OCCUPY ZUCCOTTI

Challenge: Develop your own Occupy Movement in the location of Zuccotti Park.

After the events of 2011 Occupy Movements and my own site analysis, it was even more apparent that the public park seating needed more life and comfort in them. The main activity I saw people do at this park is sit. If we are to sit, why not sit on something more comfortable and not permanently structured to the ground? The Playscapes I designed are soft, movable and play well with the given environment and they also make spaces more inviting to stand.
