#UNSEEN — What’s up with the MARGINS?
The margins is our design philosophy in how we approach our work. Yes, it’s a place to record and recall important facts and ideas, but we also view it as a place that sparks creativity.
2020 Seed Grant Award
We are honored to be one of the 35 Community Clean Energy Projects for the 2020 Seed Grant Award in Minnesota.
#UNSEEN Climate Change
We are bearing witness to the brokenness of our climate. Webster defines climate as follows…
#UNSEEN Forces: (MCA * STEAM)
In physics, a force (F=m*a) is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. As we are immersed in quarantine, we are seeing the power of collaboration that is changing lives.
Urban Design Perspectives Celebrates: Earth Day 2020
Join our Virtual Book Club! Urban Design Perspectives would like to welcome you to celebrate Earth Day with us by participating in a virtual book club discussion.
#UNSEEN: Being Vulnerable Together
When we decided that #UNSEEN was going to be this year’s blog focus, we couldn’t have imagined how COVID-19 would impact the world. We have been social distancing, working virtually and finding new ways of collaborating because of sheltering at home.
#UNSEEN: Honoring Black Community
Urban Design Perspectives celebrated Black History Month by recognizing the unseen faces within our Minneapolis community. We used this time to reflect on the milestones and took steps to seek out inspirational people.
#UNSEEN
As many start the new year with making resolutions, it is our intention to not make any checklists. The drawback with lists is that there will always be something left undone and one is left with a feeling of not doing enough.
A Year of Reflection
As we begin wrapping up 2019, our firm is taking time to reflect on the goals we set out to achieve and recognize where we still have room to grow. This year Urban Design Perspectives actively maintained a list of goals which aligned with who we are and who we would like to become.
SHAKE December Invite
During this holiday season, Common Sense Consulting and Urban Design Perspectives invite you to our on-line children’s book and/or baby items donation from December 12 – 25. Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery is a trusted resource for families in their time of crisis.
Making Change — A Celebration of Women In Leadership
The month of September has been focused on celebrating women in leadership. SHAKE which stands for Service, Honesty, Adaptability, Kindness and Experience is the standard which Urban Design Perspectives stands by in our practice.
