Better Block
Comments Off
Students in architecture Assistant Professor Wanda Dye’s graduate design studio won a 72-hour Build a Better Boulevard challenge for designing a pocket park on a vacant lot in Dallas. The students coordinated with food vendors, organizations, and volunteers in creating an urban layout as well as building 35 benches and tables and a 50-foot by 60-foot shade structure, all with reclaimed materials. The Better Block project sought ideas for designing safer, more livable streets.
