Hello Neighbors thesis introduction

I posted the visual introduction to my thesis on improving neighborhood communication because it’s been on my mind and I’m a dork. In a built environment where citizens’ flyers are illegal yet businesses can shout about their products on an increasing number of public surfaces, how can public space be better designed so that it’s not necessarily allocated to the highest bidder but instead, reflects and facilitates the needs of communities? Until we have our own neighborhood wall space, we can use these walls thanks to a competition by Diesel.

    You’re not a dork! You’re a geek. Big difference.
