Pop-Up Place: Innovating the future of social infrastructure
Have your design on display at City Hall during Design Week Portland!
Pop-up urban experiences continue to drive global interest in shaping the future of social infrastructure. This design competition asks you to flex your design muscles to create and build modular street furniture, large-scale games and modular sculpture.
Participants will have the option to donate their object to the Portland in the Streets program. Donated objects will be showcased to inspire conversation about how we utilize public spaces and implement objects that strengthen communities. After the competition, select entrants will be invited to display their designs for use during 2019 Portland Sunday Parkways, Last Thursdays on Alberta, block parties, and large community events.
The winner will receive the People's Choice Award, a unique trophy created by Felling Furniture Studio, and bragging rights for eternity.
