U.S. State – Washington What do you see? The Space Needle – an iconic Seattle landmark built for the 1962 World’s Fair, stands tall as a symbol of innovation, offering panoramic views of the city and its surroundings. Over the next 50 days, I’ll be sharing a series of posters, each distilling the essence of a U.S. state into a minimalistic design. My goal is to strip away the unnecessary and focus on the core of what each state represents – to me. What do you think represents this state?

What could it look like if diversity were the starting point for design? The exhibition 'Design for All? Diversity as the Norm/Design für alle?

Civic Art ++ [planning items] Civic art plays a crucial role in urban planning history as it helps to shape the identity, character, and quality of life of a city. It serves as a reflection of the values, culture, and history of the community, and can enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of public spaces. -- One of the key importance of civic art in urban planning history is its ability to humanize and beautify the built environment. By incorporating public art into urban design, cities can create more vibrant and engaging streetscapes that foster a sense of place and community pride. Public art also has the power to inspire and provoke thought, promote social cohesion, and contribute to the overall well-being of residents.

One of CannonDesign ambitions, The Big Rethink, is all about flipping the tables on conventions and embracing the unexpected. SRG + CannonDesign did exactly that when designing two parking garages for a renowned athletic company. These next-generation structures redefine the typical parking experience by prioritizing placemaking and creating substantial spaces for pedestrian and recreational use. By rethinking the design and purpose of buildings like parking structures, we can transform mundane moments into opportunities for inspiration and connection, fundamentally reshaping what it means to navigate our cities and communities. 🚗 Learn more in this piece by Aaron Pleskac. https://lnkd.in/g_QpQ__j

TODAY @ CREATIVE FUTURE Festival Beyond Concrete: Building a Path for the Future of Atlanta’s Westside Tabea Fahr, Taylor Coles, Ingeborg M. Rocker, PhD. and Rusty Smith explore the challenges and opportunities of redeveloping Atlanta’s Westside. One of Atlanta’s most salient and popular planning gems, the Atlanta Beltline, was conceived within an academic context and enthusiastically adopted by the city government. It is a great piece of planning that has energized and connected neighborhoods across the city, but has also catalyzed the displacement of legacy residents within those neighborhoods. Later phases of The Beltline trail system offer an opportunity for a second chance. What can we from academia, city government, and the development world do to achieve better outcomes on the Westside which include historic Vine City and English Avenue? 3 Reasons to Attend: — Learn strategies for creating inclusive, resilient urban spaces. — Discover how urban design can balance community needs with progress. — Get insights into one of Atlanta’s most significant redevelopment projects.
