The pale and spiritless hospital and the always identical looking parking lot both encompasses an absolute rationality with the way that they are constructed, as if they are deliberately trying to diminish the subjectivity that us humans have. We understand the basics of architecture, as well as its ability in influencing the mental states of its users.

“Parking Structure Art Facade” is a parking lot project completed last year. Located in the Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital at Indianapolis, USA; it challenges the typicality of architectural structures. Urbana, the architectural firm which is in charge of the project has taken the action of drivers and pedestrians and transformed that into an interactive arrangement for the architecture. Using 7000 metallic pieces grouped under 18 different sizes, they have lined them in different directions so that their navy blue and yellow faces are combined into a huge three-dimensional canvas. Whether you are slowly driving, rapidly pacing through or simply walking along, the image on the screen will constantly change as you move.

Going beyond the sole identity of an architecture, it has also became an artistic landscape for the city. The sense of interactiveness has helped filled the empty feeling present in parking lots, bringing a sense of change to its visitors and even the passerby.
