Shore Walk
August 21, 2012 Astoria, Queens, NY
Hosted by the Astoria Park Alliance
We debuted our first public art project as part of the Astoria Shore Festival 2012. Shore Walk is an interactive project, where members of the community selected an element of the shore in the form of a stencil to personalize with their own thoughts about the waterfront. The purpose of the project was to gain a collective value about the shore, as a base for proposing re-development plans.

Design Project and Documentary: The life of a street vendor influences planning decisions. As the street peddler, greengrocer, moves between traditional and modern neighborhoods he connects the elements of the urban masterplan. The street peddler’s important social function within the old Shanghai neighborhood is not only preserved but essential to new parts of the city. Thus by making a better living, he also becomes an ambassador for the traditional Shanghainese lifestyle in the developed city.
