Urban Studio met with Lansie Sylvia and Elizabeth Grimaldi of The Village of Arts and Humanities. We discussed doing several rain collection installations. Over the next few weeks we will develop a plan and designs that will engage people in the community during design, installation, and use. As the projects develop we hope to hold workshops to show individuals and business owners how to install their own systems as well as partner with local organizations to do job training while installing our demonstration systems.
“The Village of Arts and Humanities (the Village) is a multifaceted arts organization dedicated to community revitalization through the arts. The need for a new urban landscape in 1986, spawned the Village of North Philadelphia.”
