About the project

A network of walking routes that turn underused streets and empty lots into an open-air gallery. The idea was simple · connect different parts of the city through a curated path of murals, installations, and sculptures by local and international artists.

Distinctive paving and lighting guide visitors from one art node to the next, each with seating and shade. Green infrastructure like bioswales and permeable paving improve the walking experience while managing runoff.

A simple app gives context for each artwork and suggests routes based on how much time you have.
