In partnership with The Human Architecture and Planning Institute - theHAPI.org we had the pleasure of sharing the Flower Walk project at the 13th Annual Street Talks at the Old South Meeting House in Boston, hosted by LIVABLE STREETS TRANSPORTATION ALLIANCE OF BOSTON INC. Public transit spaces tend to be displeasing to the eye, overlooked, and under-stimulating for commuters. We see these spaces as an opportunity for change with the challenge of fostering joy while measuring the impact of creative transformations. With the use of iMotions technology, commonly used in the automotive industry, we were able to track how the Flower walk design impacts commuters through eye-tracking data. Using this technology at every stage of the process informed us in finalizing the best outcome. Before the Flower Walk intervention in City of Chelsea, MA the bus stop was overlooked, now it is non-consciously bringing a joyful focus to the commuter experience. Why should we settle when measuring the commuter experience? By designing for joy we are creating more exciting and inclusive community engagement. https://lnkd.in/eJ9hn6tY

Sometimes outside partners don't understand museums at all... ... and sometimes their new ideas are a great fit! Give it a try. Continuing our deep dive on temporary exhibits - did you know you might strike gold by collaborating with community partners too? 🤝 One great example is when COSI - Center of Science and Industry worked with the local Model Railroad Society to create a festive holiday display. 🎅🚂 With some strategic lighting and staging, they transformed the space into an immersive winter wonderland experience. Kids were mesmerized watching the model trains chug around the tracks! The best part? This was a very low design exhibit - the Railroad Society handled all the setup, maintenance, and takedown. COSI provided the space, a bit of lighting, probably some cute train crossing barriers, and advertising! Some other ideas for community collaborations: • Partner with a vet's office to prototype an interactive animal hospital exhibit • Host an art show featuring works from local artisans and makers • Set up an interactive musical instrument display with instruments donated from local music shops Tapping into outside expertise and resources makes your transitional spaces even more dynamic. Plus, it's a win-win - you get fresh content, and your collaborators gain visibility. What creative community tie-ins have you explored? Can't wait to hear your ideas! 💡 See all the posts from this series... 1 - Multi-purpose Structures https://lnkd.in/eaFJaVsc 2 - Loose Parts https://lnkd.in/e7NDC_v9 3 - Partnerships https://lnkd.in/ehb5n5v7 4 - Seasonal Exhibits https://lnkd.in/e98RA6GP #ChildrensMuseums #CommunityPartnerships #TempExhibits #HolidayDisplays #InspiredImpact

🎨 How Public Art Changes the World for the Better 🎨 Public art is more than just decoration – it's a powerful tool for social change and community building. From murals that tell the stories of marginalized communities to sculptures that challenge our perceptions, public art has the ability to transform spaces and inspire action. One of my favorite examples is [insert specific example or story]. This piece not only beautified the neighborhood but also sparked important conversations about [insert relevant social issue]. It's a reminder that art is a universal language that can bridge divides and bring people together.Public art creates a sense of identity and pride, encourages community engagement, and can even drive economic development by attracting visitors and businesses to the area. It's a testament to the power of creativity and collaboration. **Have you experienced the impact of public art in your community?

Talking about #ADAcompliance with one of my mentees:
Sharing a clip of our CEO, Joseph M. Cole, coaching one of his mentees. In this clip, Joseph helps this student understand the importance of designing spaces for #ADAcompliance. A simple divider near a water fountain will help our visually impaired friends navigate their surroundings. #DesignWithCulture

WHAT MAKES ATLANTA SO DAMN ARTISTIC? As of 2021, 52% of Atlanta’s population is African American, and that identity crucially informs Atlantan art. Add to that a combination of rich cultural heritage, a vibrant arts scene with many nationally acclaimed art institutions. Then throw in a vast diversity of artistic expression across all forms of art and you get a true hotbed. There's a lot of creativity in Atlanta, and appropriately, the 2024 Creative Placemaking Communities summit was held there this week. Atlanta is a CREATIVE PLACEMAKING demonstration in itself. _________ Torque Real Estate Marketing TORQUE is a real estate marketing agency bringing insight and awareness to the emergence of human experience, properties and the community. #atantarealestate #office #commercialrealestate #architecture #realestate #realestateindustry #marketingagency #realestatemarketing #marketingagency
