The first week back after the break is always a doozy. A happy new year to all from our office's four-legged troublemakers and walkability experts!

Interface Studio LLC is an inventive and imaginative planning and urban design practice.
关于我们
We believe the process of urban planning is evolving, becoming increasingly graphic, grassroots-driven, and interactive. With the growing presence of technology in our world comes near-constant visual stimulation, unprecedented access to information, and an empowered generation of do-it-yourself activists. Planning is a form of advocacy – for a better future and for engaged, equitable communities. Our practice and approach celebrates these shifts.
Our mission is to help communities, large and small, think about where they are now, what they would like to become, and which steps are needed to get there.
We strive to make planning and design accessible to all audiences with a style that is approachable, artistic, playful, and intended to welcome the public into the planning process. We listen to people from all walks of life, we research, we draw, and we make many, many maps. Our mutual exchange with residents and stakeholders is one of trust and respect, honest and real. We actively listen and develop relationships with the people and places where we work.
We believe every place has a story to tell. Planning and design, for us, is a means of storytelling. Our role is to mine for data and help uncover the trends that shape our cities. We translate data into compelling graphics that enable residents and stakeholders to see their communities with fresh eyes.
We help communities prioritize and take action to improve their cities and neighborhoods. Our designs seek to maximize the possibilities of incremental change where strategic early actions, designed to build confidence and momentum, can help to accomplish larger, transformational ideas.
As an office, our aim is to innovate in every project. We work hard, but we laugh along the way. We care a lot about what we do – for our clients and their communities, for ourselves, and for the greater good.

20 years goes by so fast. In the past month since Interface Studio's official birthday, we've been posting past work and updates on projects across the years. What started as a small urban design firm doing a lot of neighborhood planning has expanded to tackle all kinds of projects. What I continue to see is a playfulness in how we engage and communicate that brings a lot more than the usual suspects to the process. A snapshot below from our super early work in Francisville (Philly) and Wicker Park (Chicago) to engagement, placemaking and downtown design efforts over the past decade. Coming soon is the release of our work with the City of Detroit around the Joe Louis Greenway.

June was a month of public engagement...hot, outdoor engagement. From Durham to Fort Worth, the rising temperatures did not deter people from coming out and sharing their ideas. We had tents, fans, food, sunscreen and much more. I think the addition of the water slide and snow cones in Fort Worth encouraged the local kids to join our party. Kudos to all those that sweated along with us. I made many "convenient" trips to local hardware stores to pick up much needed last minute supplies and to cool off briefly. Thanks to everyone that helped to make these events a major success!

Last week's adventures in Durham.
This week I was honored to be the keynote speaker at Downtown Durham's State of Downtown annual event. A fantastic crowd that graciously laughed at my jokes. Many thanks to Downtown Durham Inc., the City of Durham, Durham County and their partners for asking us to complete an update to their Downtown Plan. What a great opportunity to introduce myself to those that care deeply about Downtown and it's future. I'll spare you the close ups of me speaking even though the photographer took some great pics.
