The Russian firm Salto Architects has made walking fun, with "Fast Track" a trampoline path.
What if there was a way to have a bounce in your step, all the time? The Russian firm Salto Architects has made that happen with "Fast Track," a trampoline path that now runs through Nikola-Lenivets Park, outside of Moscow. Spanning a little over 550 feet of ground space, the "bouncy installation" was originally presented this summer during the Archstoyanic festival.
The architects explain on their website: "Fast track is an attempt to create intelligent infrastructure that is emotional and corresponds to the local context. It gives the user a different experience of moving and perceiving the environment."
We think it would be great to see this implemented in cities around the world—if even it were just for a block. Perhaps Los Angeles would actually become a walking city if people could trampoline to their destinations. What's one street in the city that you live in that you'd like to see taken over by a trampoline?
