shao yung yeh: qashqai and the giant dandelion - think outside the parking box competition shortlisted revealed

'qashqai and the giant dandelion' by shao yung yeh from taiwan, is one of the
66 shortlisted entries from our recent designboom competition 'think outside the parking box'
in collaboration with nissan.

the robotic giant dandelion is a new form of parking construction, which is composed of
three levels of parking plates built from kinetic arms that are connected to a central rotating base.
the parking plates are lifted and lowered to and from the ground, providing elevated parking spaces.
they also change color from red to green indicating when a space is available and vice versa.
in order to let drivers see the parking spaces clearly and to add a bit of visual interest to the urban scene,
they also glow in the dark.

what a waste of resources! One branch / one car... So they need to build a lot of "giant dandelion" to replace one actual park...

what about protection from the elements? Solar Collectors as shade structures in the shape of leaves?


	SCG 11.06.09

it waists a lot of energy. and take space as a big box of parking. beautiful but so far future and not practical.

Loss of space & energy, totally unpractical ... but definitely some "out of the box thinking" which is the goal of this competition.
Winner!

Nice
But Difficult in real life Use
it is too havy in manufacture...Needs big resources for production.
