Kic Park located at Yangpu, Shanghai, China is a project by 3GATTI Architecture Studio. This project was submitted to Architecture News Plus (ANP) by 3GATTI Architecture Studio. Project’s programme: Public open spaces, gardens, playgrounds, resting areas, advertising supports.

The architect has covered the whole surface with wood, an ideal primitive material that is both flexible and hospitable, that grows old and shows the temporary nature of the operation.

Where the wood rises up, one can see a living underworld made of grass and trees.

The architect in this way has predisposed specific spaces where people can chat together, have a rest, or even go skateboarding. A social carpet that does not exclude the coexistence of aggregation and individualism.
