This project is an intervention aimed at placemaking in the town of Van Buren, enriching the experience of navigating a new walking path that traverses Main Street, a variety of green spaces including the Enchanted Forest, and the St. John River waterfront. Using the principles of design research, we created a public interactive experience, with the goal of increasing community & visitor engagement in Van Buren and thus increasing economic viability of the town. The ultimate aspiration of this work is to build towards an enriching arts campus, welcoming residents and visitors alike.
