Arts + Place
creative placemaking: the intentional integration of arts, culture, and community-engaged design strategies into the process of equitable community planning and development.* ArtPlace America
Our practice of creative placemaking is rooted in our time spent learning from some of the most innovative thinkers in this field of work. Through a collaboration with ArtPlace America, we came to know this practice through this specific definition:
Define the geography
Identify and define the challenge
Allow artists and creatives to collaborate and engage in order address the challenge
Measure outcomes
For those looking for a plain list of all public events and projects at The Nave, we have an Index.
Living Big, Living Small
We want to explore how we can maximize a one-bedroom unit design for ultimate livability and financial feasibility for actual development. We partnered with set designer Sheila Wyne to design a scale 3-D unit model with multiple moving parts and furniture to allow for real interaction in the space illustrating real constraints for real world living.
Reclaiming Asphalt
An interactive exercise in how buildings along the Spenard Corridor might better relate to the street and also provide for safer mobility for cyclists and pedestrians. A testing ground for better streetscapes and more interesting, creative buffers. A tangible showcase for creative ideas to replace excessive parking/asphalt.
