AmplifyAmplifying Creative Communities in NYC

Parsons DESIS Lab, The New School University

Project: a two-year action based on exhibitions and workshops to help NYC communities to promote sustainable lifestyles.

Context: communities in NYC are no longer waiting for governments or businesses to take action but are starting to organize their own resources for more sustainable city living.

Design role: · Find often-hidden examples of social innovation in the city;· Help those initiatives become easier and more enjoyable using service design methods and tools;· Show others how they could create similar alternatives for themselves.
