Budapest's Hello Wood has revived its POP-UP Park for the second straight year. Now in a more colorful iteration, the temporary installation revives Városháza Park, an underused public space next to City Hall in the architecture studio's hometown.
The POP-UP Park echoes last year's installation with its undulating wood seating, but this year a rainbow palette makes the park a bit more photogenic – and potentially inviting to passersby. Further enticing people are charging stations, workout and sports equipment, and chess tables.
Hello Wood's POP-UP Park is open to the public 24 hours a day until the end of October.
