Door Stop in Disused Sign
Out of use signpost with heavy concrete base in use as a solid, day-long door stop.
Materials: Signpost
Location: Shibuya, Tokyo
Security or Stabilization?
A medium size potted bamboo plant is secured to a breeze block and signpost with a long length of plastic twine (one key item in the urban gardener’s arsenal).
What is the function of this construction? Is it a security device – being of just enough nuisance to discourage late-night strollers from lightheartedly taking it home (It is easy pickings for any determined thief)?. Is it a stabilizing defense against high-winds? Or, does it simply prevent the pot from falling/being bumped over in its precarious position?
