City Lounge by Carlos Martinez






City Lounge is an outdoor space in the center of St. Gallen, Switzerland, that has been designed by Carlos Martinez in collaboration with Pipilotti Rist, as a result of a design competition to create a public living room.

A red carpet flows all around the buildings, recreating places to relax, places to converse, places to park, fountains, even fake cars you can climb on.

awesome, just what i think we are trying to create in these 'possible new spaces' makes a brilliant 'gossip' centre, also like the idea of carpeting Briggate, making the main street your living room!
