Artists, designers and activists are putting their quarters in the meter and transforming parking spaces into temporary public parks. Park(ing) Day LA has organized a one-day citywide greening of those dreary asphalt spots that define so much of our car-centric lives. Teams will create personalized landscapes, i.e. “Shakespeare in the Park(ing),” with lawn chairs, moss, potted plants and other greenery. To celebrate the wonders of these ephemeral parks, the A+D Architecture and Design Museum will host an Open Air After Party outfitted with a virtual garden, antioxidant cocktails and the tunes of DJ Garth Trinidad.
