following in the theme of color and pattern like henrik amberla’s ‘parking in rainbows’, ‘PARKing’ – urban flowers by ittai ilani and adva noach from israel is another one of the 66 shortlisted entries of designboom’s ‘think outside the parking box’ competition in collaboration with nissan.

‘PARKing’ is a public area based on the idea that a car is an urban flower. like a flower, cars have their own unique shape and color. this is a parking lot in which cars navigate themselves to designated parking areas according to their color. the result is a colorful versailles garden-like pattern. alongside the parking spots, there is also a open green area to make the parking experience more enjoyable. PARKing perceives the car as part of a whole urban complex, using it to create a symbolic decorative city element.
