Constructing The Big Hammock
Imagine napping in a big hammock on the Greenway during your lunch hour. Designed and led by Hansy Better Barraza AIA, a team has woven The Big Hammock, the world’s largest portable relaxation/napping/hangout device, at the Fort Point Channel Parks. Take a turn in the hammock and enjoy activities from noon to 8:00 pm daily through September 4.
The following images document the construction of The Big Hammock, along with timely links and tweets. Follow Hansy on Twitter and keep up with the architectural scene by following @BSAAIA
