Streetscape
Design and planning of public streets, markets, and outdoor spaces that shape urban experience and community life.
Streetscape encompasses the design of public outdoor environments including streets, markets, parks, and gathering spaces. These projects consider how physical design influences how people move through, interact with, and experience urban areas.
The community explores streetscape through adaptive reuse of underutilized urban areas, transformation of retail and commercial blocks into social spaces, integration of food and commerce with public gathering, and tactical interventions that activate streets and create neighborhood identity.
