For PARK(ing) day 2016 I designed Wind Time, a large wind instrument and small playground. The instrument was designed as an interactive architecture activated by people and the surrounding environment. Drumming utensils were supplied to provide percussive sounds when the the pipe bases were drummed, and seating was provided to encourage a tranquil viewing experience.  

Wind Time was constructed using recycled 2 x 4 wood studs to create a box frame and cross-braced with nylon rope with tension.  The cross-bracing was strategically placed along the street face of the box to discourage movement into the street.  Stringing the pre-drilled pipes with the nylon rope, the pipe weres then hung across the structure and tied to the structure using a cleat hitch. Altogether, this reduced the cost of materials and neccesitation of hardware.

PARK(ing) Day is an annual worldwide event where artists, designers and citizens transform metered parking spots into temporary public parks.”
