ParKit: Pedaling Parks to People

Faire: Pioneer Valley

Maker: Smith College Landscape Studies ParKit Team

Home: Massachusetts, United States

The ParKit, a park-making kit, makes small temporary parks mobile. The main objective is to enact short-term, low-stakes simulations of potential permanent park installations, servicing the wants and needs of multiple publics. Designed to be ridden around a city and quickly assembled, a bike pulls a trailer holding the necessary components for constructing a “parklet,” enabling previously unused spaces to become more inviting. Mobile in nature, our vision is to reach out to communities who are less likely to have the time, resources or political leverage to engage in community design.

Electric Wrecker

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Keith Johnson and Merrilee Proffitt

Home: California, United States

The Electric Wrecker was built in 2008. Modeled created from scratch, starting with the wheels and ending with the base, and everything in between this piece was transformed from a pile of parts to a beautiful electric vehicle. This vehicle is not large, showy, or loud — it is the opposite, sort of subtle in its construction and operation, but the subtlety is a feature — the more you look, the more there is to appreciate. This vehicle is hugely popular with the engineering set. We find that we receive a lot of admiration for this vehicle because of the variety of engineering challenges that it addresses.
