During the pandemic many public parks and gardens closed with the worry that the rules of physical distancing are not practiced. In Vienna, all famous parks, like Schönbrunn or Belvedere closed their gates and residents had to use streets and alleys to stretch their legs. But how would a park look that introduces the rules of physical distancing as a design-guideline

The park is proposed for a vacant plot in Vienna. It’s a proposal for now. But I think this pandemic has taught us that we need more places to get away. City centres should not be defined by their real-estate, but rather by their real escape.
