In the coming few months, you’ll be able to see this interactive Swing Time installation on The Lawn on D in Boston offers residents and people to sit back and ease while swinging in one of 20 glowing hammocks.
This beautiful temporary project was a concept by Höweler + Yoon Architecture and was created as a way to “make a new type of city park” where everyone is invited to gather and play games or do exercises to be fit. Every swing is custom-made in three diverse sizes from welded polypropylene.
On the inside of the circular structures, LED lighting responds to movement contingent on whether or not it is being used. At a standstill, the round form emits soft white lights, nonetheless then, as the sightseer swings and rocks inside of the structure, an internal micro-controller modification the lighting from white to purple to indicate motion.
