These talented volunteer designers worked in teams over the course of Spring 2021 to design conceptual responses to the biggest challenges and opportunities presented by the site.

The designs presented here reimagine DownCity Design's Re|Design future home at 370 Cranston Street, as a space for training the next generation of designers, facilitating new ways for youth and adults to use the power of design to strengthen their communities, and serving as a model for sustainable, community-driven design.
