What If? Community Engagement Tool Orlando, Florida

“What If?” started to help community members envision - and become engaged with - ways to create healthier, more accessible, and more prosperous public realms. The traveling displays used images of an existing street as the base layer for a rendering showing how the street can be made more walkable, bikeable, and vibrant. Residents and store owners could look through an empty frame to focus on the existing street, then toggle the rendering up into the frame, while they ponder, “What If?” In the summer of 2020, we asked our intern studio to step up to the plate and dream up some ways to transform the Ivanhoe Village district in Orlando, Florida. Like any of our teams would, the intern studio approached this project using the 6Ds: Dream, Discover, Design, Document, Deliver, Discuss; a six-step process that allows us to collectively identify opportunities and constraints. After working their way through the 6D process, our intern studio developed some big ideas that would transform the Ivanhoe Village district.
