There’s definitely some fancy, thought-experiment justification for this project, but even if I told you, you would forget it immediately because all you will be able to do is imagine jumping on a 170-FOOT-LONG TRAMPOLINE IN THE FOREST.
A design firm installed this in a Russian forest at an event called Archstoyanie, which Colossal figures is “kind of like a small version of Burning Man but … with architecture and forests.”
The fancy idea involves something about park infrastructure and challenging the “concept of infrastructure that only focuses on technical and functional aspects.” In other words, infrastructure that is not as fun as a trampoline. Maybe all sidewalks should be trampolines? Yes, definitely. All sidewalks should be trampolines.
