2015
In 2015, the historic urban neighborhood of Walnut Hills was on the brink of renewal after facing decades of disinvestment. The 5 Points Alley project was a collaborative endeavor between BLDG, MKSK and the Walnut Hills Redevelopment Foundation. Our goal was to change the story and reimagine the experience of the site by creating a new and lively public space for the community, which would, in turn, attracted interest and permanent brick and mortar investment to the Walnut Hills business district. Working directly with Walnut Hills residents and business owners, BLDG identified valuable historic, cultural and future-focused insights to design relevant artistic experiences that met the goals of the project. The result were two art installations. The first was a mural series that functioned as way-finding system.
