In partnership with The Human Architecture and Planning Institute - theHAPI.org we had the pleasure of sharing the Flower Walk project at the 13th Annual Street Talks at the Old South Meeting House in Boston, hosted by LIVABLE STREETS TRANSPORTATION ALLIANCE OF BOSTON INC. Public transit spaces tend to be displeasing to the eye, overlooked, and under-stimulating for commuters. We see these spaces as an opportunity for change with the challenge of fostering joy while measuring the impact of creative transformations. With the use of iMotions technology, commonly used in the automotive industry, we were able to track how the Flower walk design impacts commuters through eye-tracking data. Using this technology at every stage of the process informed us in finalizing the best outcome. Before the Flower Walk intervention in City of Chelsea, MA the bus stop was overlooked, now it is non-consciously bringing a joyful focus to the commuter experience. Why should we settle when measuring the commuter experience? By designing for joy we are creating more exciting and inclusive community engagement. https://lnkd.in/eJ9hn6tY

Flower Walk - “It’s not just about functionality, but also about creating an experience that is joyful.” Our partnership with the Barr Foundation on the Bus Rapid Transit Initiative aimed to innovate the mobility space through a fresh approach to transit. Our collaborations with local artists such as Max Pro and StudioFul Designs, community organizations such as La Colaborativa and the The Human Architecture and Planning Institute - theHAPI.org, and Chelsea’s Department of Public Works successfully showcased the importance of art and nature in urban environments. Flower Walk creates a joyful space for commuters waiting for their bus, while also delivering a more accessible street. https://lnkd.in/d_WH-2QF
