laneway: urban common 21 February 2011

bureau^proberts has embarked on a design strategy for the Laneway and Urban Common spaces for Laing O’Rourke’s M&A project in Fortitude Valley. Working in collaboration with Urban Art Projects the strategy responds to research carried out by The Hornery Institute into community wants and needs for this unique development. It provides design solutions for an urban laneway and common and explores the use of design, public art and social engagement. The resulting laneway will be a unique place that aims to become a catalyst for better urban spaces in our city.
