Lawn Ornament Parking Lot
Mary Lydecker. 2007

Project: to design an innovative parking lot on an irregular plot.

This parking lot proposal applies a suburban residential typology to a commercial parking
setting.  The format of the residential lawn bordered by chain-link fencing is exaggerated.  Eight-foot fences surround plantings of tall grasses; the fencing extends three feet
into the division between parking spots, alluding to the private domain of each car. 

The spaces are marked by a range of individual lawn ornaments, so that parking becomes a personal or even a political expression.
