Urban Prototyping Meetup Launch

Gray Area is pleased to announce the first in a series of public engagement Meetups for our Urban Prototyping Research Lab Incubator. Join us as we create a place for designers, artists, and technologists to discuss redesigning city streets in partnership with nonprofits, city officials, and peers. Produced by Gray Area, Autodesk, YBCA, and SF Planning Department.

The program begins at 7pm with a series of speakers who work with the intersection of public art, urban prototyping and civic innovation. Following the talks, the public will have the opportunity to engage with 10 design teams that are currently developing projects for the 2016 Market Street Prototyping Festival. Speakers include Ben Davis, Illuminate the Arts, Susan Schwartzenberg, Artist and Arfaraz Khambatta, Mayor's Office on Disability.
