Surrey\u2019s pop-up park is going \u2018Gingham Style\u2019 this summer. The classic concept of an outdoor picnic, inspired by the quintessential gingham checkered pattern has been awarded top spot in the City of Surrey\u2019s 2014 PARKit Design Challenge. The winning entry, entitled \u2018Gingham Style\u2019, was submitted by local design team Liz Nguyen and Mike Wartman, who will receive up to $15,000 to fabricate and install the pop-up park this summer.<\/p>\n

The concept of \u2018Gingham Style\u2019 will utilize a ribbon of red gingham pattern to connect a series of family style picnic tables and a fabric canopy to create a space that plays on the notion of an outdoor picnic. The result will create a warm and inviting social space that will encourage social interaction and outdoor dining.
\n\u201cThe growth of the PARKit Program and the quality of this year\u2019s submissions demonstrates the growing appetite for creative and engaging public spaces, as well as the quality of local designers in our region,\u201d says City of Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts.<\/p>\n

The PARKit Design Challenge is an annual public call for the design and installation of a summertime pop-up park located adjacent to Surrey Central SkyTrain station, in Surrey City Centre. Individuals and groups were invited to submit their ideas for a creative outdoor public space capable of supporting a small pod of mobile food vendors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PARKit program is a fun, vibrant summertime addition to our downtown core,\u201d says Councillor Linda Hepner, Chair of the Parks, Recreation and Sports Tourism Committee. \u201cWe are also excited to be using this site to pilot an expanded mobile food vending program this year.\u201d
\nPARKit Design Challenge entries were judged by an interdisciplinary City of Surrey staff committee. Entries were reviewed based on a range of criteria, including aesthetics, creativity, safety, accessibility, sustainability and maintenance.<\/p>\n

An honorarium of $500 of will be awarded to the Challenge\u2019s first runner-up \u2018BLUEM\u2019, by Nicholas Doering, Alex Honeywell, Joshua McGee, Stephanie Taniguchi and Yan Zang from SFU\u2019s School of Interactive Art & Technology (SIAT), and $250 to second runner-up \u2018Palatable\u2019, by Chelsea Louise Grant and Steve Gairns. The City will retain the rights to the runner-up designs.<\/p>\n

The site is expected to be installed early July, and will remain open through mid-August.<\/p>\n
