John Bela of Rebar Group in collaboration with Till Wolfer of N55 created \u00a0the ‘Parkcycle Swarm’ (consisting of four mobile parks) to explore the possibilities of a public sculpture, as well as to create\u00a0 public awareness about biking as an eco-commuting option and\u00a0the importance of green spaces in urban settings. Each\u00a0bike-mounted park can accommodate a rider as well as plants, trees, picnic gear or lawn games. Extra passengers can be seated in the front of the bikes. The Parkcycle can be moved from one area to another giving you the flexibility to create a green picnic spot wherever you feel like. Is it going to be a bigger party? You can simply join all the four\u00a0mobile parks together to create one large green space.<\/p>\n
Produced by\u00a0YARAT, the Parkcycle was specially commissioned for\u00a0PARTICIPATE: Baku Public Art Festival 2013 which runs in the capital of Azerbaijan until 17th September 2013. The Parkcycle Swarm can be spotted around Baku city during the festival, inviting people to bike the mobile park throughout the city.<\/p>\n
