Architects to stage urban intervention at LFA 2008
11 June, 2008

Parking bays and design aren’t two words which normally trip off the tongue together, but a competition run by Ramboll Whitbybird is using design to draw attention to just how much space is given up to cars in the city.

It has shortlisted 14 teams to create a series of “urban interventions” during the 2008 London Festival of Architecture to turn a series of parking spaces green.

Overnight on Thursday 3 July, volunteers will turn 14 car parking spaces on Store Street ‘green’ to highlight how much space in the city is given up to cars. Each team will have a budget of £200. The shortlisted teams were chosen based on the designs ability to create discourse and to challenge perception, its use of sustainable materials, and its buildability.
