Park & Putt proposed a new use for Water
Eaton car park, which sits immediately adjacent to North Oxford Golf Club.
Pinsky aimed to transform perceptions by creating a golf course in the
Park & Ride car park. From 7pm until the following morning the car
park is empty, leaving an area with high land values and an existing transport
infrastructure redundant. The car park was transformed from its traditional
monoculture to build a relationship with its somewhat richer neighbour.
The existing golf course is accessible half a mile from the car park,
only affording glimpses of its picturesque vistas through a hedge. One
associates golf with green manicured lawns and landscaped hills; The same
leisure activity in a car park set in the shadow of a huge industrial
silo provided a dislocated vision for visitors and participants. Info
