Fairview Greenway Research + Design Illustration Session: I will be hosting a session from 3:00 to 4:00 pm helping attendees imagine the possibilities for the Fairview Mainstreet and Trails using a trio of map activities.

from the event page:

“Anchorage Design Week and its community partners are excited to invite neighborhood residents and small business owners, planners and designers, active transportation advocates, and economic development partners to cogenerate positive visions during a series of creative workshops highlighting the potential of Fairview. Initial presentations by NeighborWorks Alaska and the Anchorage Museum will set participants up for creative exercises led by local design experts Peter Briggs (Corvus Design) and Lee Post (Postmarks Graphics), who will guide folks to sharing and articulating ideas for how open space and the built environment can support the residents of Fairview and greater Anchorage.

In addition to learning about the potential development implications of the Seward to Glenn Connection project, this workshop will help participants learn how to share their perspectives and imaginations using visual storytelling methods with accessible tools like Lego and simple illustration techniques.

The results of this creative symposium are intended to represent an assemblage of ideas describing greenway connections and economic development targets that help to advance the ambitions of residents and entrepreneurs in East Downtown and the Fairview neighborhood while focusing on a core area of the proposed highway connection project - Gambell Main Street and Fairview Greenway(Hyder and Ingra streets).

As the Fairview neighborhood responds to the potential impacts and opportunities presented by the most recent proposals for the Seward Highway Connection by Alaska Department of Transportation (AKDOT) this workshop seeks to consider historical contexts and support small businesses and residents alike with creative solutions to a community challenge.

This event is made possible with support by NeighborWorks Alaska in collaboration with the Anchorage Museum, the Fairview Community Council, and the Alaska Chapter ASLA. This event is hosted by the Anchorage Museum at Seed Lab.
