Carparking

 At a recent COE (Community of Excellence) there was a discussion about car parking.  Someone said maybe we could just stack them on top of each other.  Well here you go, that's just what they are doing in New York.  Hydraulic Car Parks!!
This is just a small car park

Not a great pic, but this car park is about 6 stories high and goes on forever.  Taken from the High Line walk.

  1. Yes Soph we were actually just talking about this in a meeting last week - in the context of greater height and density posing real challenges for carparking. Looks ugly though huh

  2. Good point Kelly, yes quite ugly. In fact most car parks are ugly come to think of it. There must be a better way.
