I love the pink belt this Tire Robot is wearing. Very fashion forward and from the looks of it green design too! Another great robot from our friends in Japan. This is in a Tire Park in Tokyo!
Anyone seen / played at this park?
Tokyo Tire Park has been discovered! The Nishi Rokugo Koen in Tokyo, Japan is made of tires, tires, and more tires (over 3000 tires to be exact). There is a tire swing, a tire robot and a tire gorilla looking things. By the looks of it, I think there might also be a tire SLIDE! Wow, we need more pictures and experience from people there in Tokyo!

Half buried bike tires make a great stand. Not exactly a securing device but locking your bike to a tire is certainly a deterrent! I like how this looks, very geometric and uniform. I think I will be burying some tires at the Room 9.5 (my workshop!)
Side note, Ted Ullrich of Tomorrow Lab up in Brooklyn and I made some similar bike racks while studying at Georgia Tech. I will find some pictures of our work and post them soon! Till then, enjoy these!
Great photo and ever better playground made of TIRES! This robot needs to be in my backyard protecting the hydrangeas.
This is not a city or a farm, it’s a tire dump.
If you’ve flown on an airplane before, chances are good that you’ve sat in the seat by the window and peered down at the grid structure that makes up our cities and agriculture. Rows of corn and blocks that makes up cities bisected by highways and train tracks. All rather uniform and fascinating to look at. This is not a city or a farm, it’s a tire dump. This dump was organized by now defunct, Magnum d’Or Resources, a company that took government money and failed to turn these tires into fuel. The concept was to take in tires, shread them and then send them out as TDF, “tire-derived fuel”. (Story on Magnum) Geocycle another Colorado based recycling company, does a good job of recycling tires and has helped clean up Colorado’s large population of tire dump cities. (info about Geocycle’s efforts in Colorado)
So, next time you peer out the window of an airplane, look for the city dump.
