Research

Thought about some urban art installations I already knew of and looked them up on the internet:

This is one that pretty much all Massey students know about and is a great creative use of the concrete space.

There are a number of bus shelters on the Island Bay route that are painted like this one which are a really beautiful solution to such a mundane space.

Not the one I remember but demonstrates the concept none-the-less, where along the outside of the bus are alternative bodies to pair with passengers heads.

Then I moved on to researching other stuff:

A cool series of tyre installations in Barcelona to revitalise forgotten areas of the city.

This was a really interesting play on scale.

These are really cool paintings that look so realistically dimensional. The only thing with these is that it only looks this way from one view point.

This installation from Thomas Canto looks really interesting however I'm not sure of its purpose.

Love love love this! Really clever way of actually taking something from a space to create something new rather than adding to a space.
