PAINT THE PAVEMENT: public art intervention Cassidy Rosen M.Arch 1- 2017 Interpretive Urban Design Seminar

Fall 2015

Similar to design scheme of the SUPERKILEN the 9 major intersection in the downtown of Gretna will be PAINTED TO ACTIVATE A SENSE OF PEDESTRIAN PRESENCE WITHIN THE STREETS. The intersections can become transformative into locations for public events and the design intention is the proposal of closing down Huey P Long Avenue for “open street” events bi-monthly injunction with the 2nd Saturday Art Walk that currently takes place in Gretna.

With PAINT THE PAVEMENT, community is built by learning how to organize together, share responsibilities, work with all ages and backgrounds, create a shared commons, build a local identity, animate public spaces, paint murals, and slow traffic.
