GIVING BACK TO DENVER

As a collective we were assigned to give back to the community of Denver in a creative way.one of the biggest problems Denver informal settlement faced was way finding because the housing layout was so informal and constantly changing due to the rapid growth of the settlement and with constant shacks burning and being rebuilt,traversing through the site was a big problem.

Many of the residents living there did not really understand what Denver looked like. so we decide to paint a site plan on the central meeting space wall this would also allow for the site users of Denver (those who have lived there for ages and those who were to be there temporarily) to engage with the map and add changes or write what they taught would help improve the community in which they currently reside in.

STEP 1 : Paint corrugated wall with white paint.

 

 

 

STEP 2 : Putting the map together and creating a stencil of the settlement.

 

 

STEP 3: Spray painting the stencil onto the wall.

 

STEP 4: Out lining the shacks with white paint pens.
