Noch ein wunderbares Projekt der Amsterdamer Ausstellung “Urban Play“: Das niederländische Architekturbüro NL hat 100 Bäume in Einkaufswagen gesteckt – und so einen “Moving Forest” geschaffen. “The Moving Forest are 100 trees strapped into 100 shopping-carts lurking around in an urban environment blocking peoples way and forcing passers to act on them. According to NL’s Gen Yamamoto the idea comes from a story he heard as a child about a forest where the trees move at night so that people would loose there way and could never get out. This story has been haunting him ever since. In his mind he could imagine people adopting a tree e.g. homeless could start to take one on their journey through the city. The trees would pop up unexpectedly in small side streets or dark corners or be pushed over a big public square. They would group in smaller groups or be sparkled over the town.” Mehr “Urban Play” hier, das Video der Aktion hier, via.
