STEFAN GzYL mobile parks<br />
‘Park Disponible’ is a project <strong>of</strong> Stefan Gzyl. Gzyl want to make it<br />
possible in an original way to simulate a piece <strong>of</strong> nature downtown.<br />
His project visualizes a glass box with a minipark which can be put<br />
everywhere. It is about fifteen square meters. It could be one park<br />
but also a series <strong>of</strong> virtual parks.<br />
The mini park needs to supply its own eco system. The air humidity<br />
as well as <strong>the</strong> temperature need to be regulated. The soil needs<br />
to be sufficiently alimentary and fertile. In short you need climate<br />
control in order to keep <strong>the</strong> parks green all year. Stefan Gzyl has<br />
taken care <strong>of</strong> this in his mobile parks. Visitors who are interested<br />
can order a membership card online. This card gives <strong>the</strong> visitor<br />
access for a certain period <strong>of</strong> time.<br />
By <strong>the</strong> way Stefan Gzyl is ‘just’ a student with a Cool idea.<br />
A Cool idea that he strongly supports. He combines enthusiasm<br />
and entrepreneurship to realize his idea.<br />
Gzyl’s mobile parks are connected to several mentality trends.<br />
First <strong>the</strong> experience economy. These parks are special and surprising.<br />
That is how every example <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> experience economy starts.<br />
The mobile parks also connect to our growing wish to a greener<br />
environment which suggest purity and care for <strong>the</strong> environment.<br />
Thirdly <strong>the</strong> mobile parks connect to our desire to have relaxing<br />
moments in a stressful existence. Even lounging in one <strong>of</strong> his parks<br />
fits in perfectly. Help me to de-stress in a stress society. Finally we<br />
really appreciate everything which makes our living environment<br />
