Constructed from an assortment of locally sourced unwanted lamp posts, Taipei’s ‘Swing Park’ is the result of a collaboration between local design practice City Yeast and Spanish art collective Basurama. With the two practices aligning through their appreciation for sustainability, experimental design and the desire to activate people and places, Swing Park is a playground made from entirely recycled materials.
Located beneath one of the city’s many busy arterial roads, Swing Parks forms part of the ‘(Re)Create Taipei’ initiative, with the city chosen as World Design Capital (WDC) in 2016. One of six projects chosen from 49 international submissions for WDC2016, Swing Park aimed to activate an idle setting, challenge perceptions of public space and show the benefits of recycling urban waste.
With Basurama having recently participated in WDC2014 in Cape Town, City Yeast requested the organisation’s skills once again for the light-hearted yet meaningful project. Back in March, the groups held public seminars and workshops where an unexpected cultural difference was noticed. The local community was involved throughout Swing Park’s design and construction, leading to greater public understanding and a park that reflects the communities needs.
