Got an idea to make public space more lovable in the rain? Join members of the VPSN crew for Make it Rain – our upcoming Design Sunday workshop at the Museum of Vancouver!
We’ve put together an exciting event - a fun, hands-on, and interactive workshop that explores what we can do to make public spaces usable and enjoyable all year round – especially in rainly climates like Vancouver.
Museum of Vancouver ~ 1100 Chestnut Street
Sunday, April 17, 2:30-5:00pm
Participants will review and discuss precedent studies from other cities, followed by a “live” analysis of remote video feeds from around the city of Vancouver.
Together, we’ll work through a design process that looks at inclement weather as both a challenge and an opportunity. As we collaborate to identify actionable solutions, we'll also be creating advocacy materials that can be directed towards making Vancouver’s public spaces better adapted for the rainy months.
After all, isn’t it time that we got beyond the umbrella? Let’s champion Vancouver as an all-weather city and figure out ways to celebrate one of our most overlooked assets: the rain.
