The Social Landscape
These gardens are
typically located on "vacant" land, and form an extension
of our private homes into the public realm. They are not
designed, but are clean, patrolled, and safe, not
co-opted by memorials to the past history of a specific
dominant culture.
Here we create
non-threatening spaces in which to park cars or
motorcycles for enjoyment and repair, to bring old
furniture for repainting, for dyeing old clothes, and for
performing all the various activities which are carried
out in the garages of suburban homes. We design public
sites where we are allowed to sell our belongings when we
need to, spaces to listen and practice loud music,
temporary movable skateboard arenas, an outdoor dance
floor, a "hanging out" place, where kids ride their
cycles, rough house or loiter without being looked down
upon.
