Can 3D Printed Street Art improve a sub-urban zone?

The elements:

- Suburb in a small town near Bari in the Southern Italy
- 3D Printed Mini FlowerLamp
- Willingness to improve the neighbourhood

In this experimental project I tried to revamp a suburb of Valenzano, a small town 14 Km from Bari with few 3D Printed mini FlowerLamp, I liked to discover the potential of 3D Printed Street Art, introducing 3D Printed elements in a very small park with few trees and a small, lonely playground.

I adopted the FlowerLamp shape to create a tiny version, 3D printed with the same process, only 1 perimeter bordering 0,5 mm of Pink PLA, Polylactic acid, a biodegradable thermoplastic polyester derived from renewable resources such as corn starch, tapioca roots and sugarcane.

I installed a small number of mini FlowerLamp in the toy slide trying to make a more natural and happy atmosphere, I fixed in a small flower bush then I secured the mini pink flowers under some peruvian pepper, an evergreen tree also know as Schinus Molle.

The results are showed below, I hope enjoy that:
