The Van Alen Placemaking Evaluation Fellowship provides hands-on experience evaluating the power of design to bring life to public spaces. Fellows work together to evaluate the quality of public life at 2-3 sites in New York City using the tools and methods of Gehl, a pioneer in understanding how design of public spaces can improve civic life. Selected Senior Fellows will have a demonstrated passion for making sense of data, and telling clear, compelling stories through art and design. Those with enthusiasm for “lo-fi” approaches to data visualization are strongly encouraged to apply. All applicants should be eligible to receive stipend payment via forms W9 or W8BEN. Fellows will receive a stipend of $1,800.
