TEACHERS AS URBAN PLANNERS


CLIENT: ROSEWOOD URBAN PLANNING AND DESIGN MAGNET SCHOOL, WEST HOLLYWOOD


In collaboration with James Rojas of Place It!, we created and led teachers of Rosewood Urban Planning and Design Magnet School through a series of sensory-based and hands-on model-building exercises so that they could then fold these methods into their everyday classroom curricula. The teachers explored the school parking lot with their senses and then broke up into groups and redesigned the parking lot by way of a model-building exercise.
