Description
An honorable mention in the Urban Design category of Fast Company's 2024 Innovation by Design Awards. Early design contributions from Delineator and collaboration with MPdL Studio noted in some case-study material apply to a related but distinct Dealey Plaza (Dallas) proposal by the same studio, not this project.
