Photos from a cast bronze (!) model, proposal for a playground area in the Riverside Park, New York City, by the master of sculptural landscape Isamu Noguchi (1094-1988) in collaboration with architect Louis Kahn (1901-1974). The architects had to redesign five times this playground from 1961 to 1966, but the project was finally cancelled due to neighborhood opposition.

“Pier” by Siiri Vallner & Indrek Peil for the Urban installations festival, 12 June – 1 October 2011, Tallinn, Estonia.
The boarded surfaces reflect the shapes of concrete slabs created upon disintegration: this way, a derelict and crumbling object can be revived as part of the modern city space, opening up the seaside area of Tallinn for local people and for visitors.
Via Vulgare.
