FIFTEEN Team lead by Sharrod Parker, Thomas Lantz, and Kya Kerner, was selected as finalist in the international design competition TACTICAL URBANISM NOW! exploring the revolution of Public Space. Our team was inspired by the question: How do we provide communities with the tools to create public spaces that are inclusive, equitable and participatory? Using our own City of Philadelphia as a canvas for intervention, our proposal explored the opportunities that emerge when tears within the urban fabric are re-imagined as catalysts for change. Sites of abandoned infrastructure become safe, equitable, and resilient urbanscapes that repair and heal vital junctures of communities and nature. We are excited to continue to develop and prototype this idea in pursuit of the creation of interventions that heal, repair, and provide opportunities for social connection. Thanks TerraViva for the challenge and congratulations to all winners! #tacticalurbanism #urbandesign #architecturecompetition #finalists
