Depicting the equivalent in size of 1 ton of CO2 , the inflatable balloon is a friendly visual reminder to citizens, on the consumption of our Cities. Informed by research on urban problematics related to climate change, the architects from KOGAA studio actively challenge the functions of public spaces, transforming them into educational, interactive, and conscious catalysts.

Similarly to the architect’ s previous urban project ‘City Cell Prototype’, a fully self-sufficient public installation tackling the problem of water shortages and heat waves, their latest Next Gen Park is addressing the issue of CO2 production in our cities, by visually representing the amount of 1 ton in the size of the air balloon.
