À propos
Anything for a Breeze | by OSO planning + design | Cool Gardens 2025 Winning Installation
During the hot summer months, we will do Anything for a Breeze. This project is a bike-powered breeze machine that invites folks to cool each other off in a playful + collaborative way. From afar, passersby will see a curious machine with a flurry of colourful tassels. As they approach, they will recognize the instruction of the installation: hop on the bike to get the fan going! The installation requires collaboration: while one person pedals on cranks, others will enjoy the breeze, requiring folks to work together with strangers and friends alike to share some coolness. In this way, coolness is care. The installation creates a simple + joyful way for folks to actively care for one another. We see the installation as an opportunity to build bridges between people and strengthen the community through shared moments of breezy fun.
OSO planning + design is an interdisciplinary studio of artists, designers, community planners, and makers who bring diverse expertise to each project. Their areas of specialization include large-scale public art, community planning, urban design, architecture, design-build, public engagement, and education. The belief that every project should be designed to integrate the community and enable participation is central to OSO’s ethos. This approach ensures that each endeavor builds on collective knowledge, connects to relevant issues, and contributes to a strong sense of place. The OSO build team is supported by Allan Carver, a versatile fabricator known for creating just about anything, with a passion for whimsical, human-powered projects. The team is also joined by Jared Klok, an interdisciplinary designer and builder based in Winnipeg.
