Park Radost is located in Žižkov under the stadium of Viktoria Žižkov. Most of the year it is used as a shortcut to the nearby tram stop. A temporary installation for Landscape Festival 2020 proposes a place to slow down, sit down and refresh here. The proposal consists of three parts – a residence net, a terrace and a bench. The wooden terrace brings passers-by under the treetops where wooden seating awaits them. A misting area is created above the hammock, which can accommodate up to six people. Pipes with nozzles are piped up the trunk to create a fine water mist. The terrace and bench are wooden, the net is made of propylene with a steel structure. It is simply a joy to lie on!
