oslo park
dispersed and networked park system

oslo park is an investigation into a responsive architectural system based on the city collective created by a dispersed looping system of parks. It is an interactive two layered loop that maps urban form. Small parks are dispersed throughout the city in various areas of urban densities. Each park maps sound through embedded micro controllers which take audio input and communicate through visual output.

A community of communication forms from the scattered parks at the culture center (hub), with each park at the culture center having a reciprocal park rooted in the city of Oslo, Norway. The possibilities of interactive networked communication in this project suggest a prototype of a collapsible city which is defined by scale and real time.
