"Reframing" Empty Parking Sign
Intro: "Reframing" Empty Parking Sign
This is a quick and fun urban intervention that allows pedestrians to experience a literal “reframing” of public space. It simply and beautifully exemplifies the power of taking a new view on old things.
You too can beautify a disused sign in your neighborhood!
To create this, I took measurements of the frame and bought a corresponding amount of moulding, cheaply available at any hardware store. I then used a chopsaw to cut the edges at 45 dregrees. Next, I used a staple gun to attach all of the corners. Finally I spray painted the whole thing gold.
To attach to the metal frame i simply used some outdoor mounting tape and voila!
Materials
-Moulding
-Staple Gun and Staples
-Gold Spray Paint
-Outdoor Mounting Tape
