meet tiny wonderful
A pop-up placemaking trailer that makes low cost, high impact placemaking demonstrations accessible to every community in Colorado.
Pop-up design helps users access and interact with familiar public spaces in new ways by implementing temporary installations such as:
- Playground structures
- Benches
- Art
- Wayfinding
- Plants
- Street amenities (like protected bike lanes)
For our partnership with Bicycle Colorado, the process, tools, and techniques we implemented with Tiny Wonderful improves how each communitiy thinks about and interacts with nature, with the desired outcome of increasing the use of parks and open space and leading to more active lifestyles and improved health.
The design and implementation process directly engages local coalitions and community members in identifying needs and solutions by collectively experimenting with temporary design solutions. Successful temporary design demonstrations will leverage work currently underway and provide additional ideas and feedback to inform future programs in even more communities throughout Denver and statewide.
