Happy Park(ing) Day everybody.
If you’re not familiar with the event, Park(ing) Day was started in 2005 when a design firm called Rebar paid for a single metered parking space in a desolate part of San Francisco and turned it into a public park with sod, a bench, and a potted tree. The goal was to call attention to the need for more urban space that’s designed for humans, not cars.

James Phillips Williams’ collection of design ephemera and personal, journal-like commentary is divine. Not sure how this blog escaped me until now. I truly hope he keeps it up — the latest entry is a few months old.
