WHAT IS WALKSCAPE
Walkscape is a project dedicated to getting people out of their cars. Blending art, design and functionality, Walkscape creates, renews and enhances spaces that promote and celebrate walking and other active modes of transportation while emphasizing the notion of play. Specializing in painted works on the ground and wall surfaces, Walkscape can intervene directly in a given space to:
beautify pedestrian or shared spaces (crosswalks, walkways, alleyways, parking lots, mixed use)
implement wayfinding strategies and visuals
beautify and revitalize “dead spaces” i.e. neglected or under-utilized spaces
create visual cues to promote safety and increase overall awareness
implement traffic calming
support placemaking strategies
produce visuals that highlight a community’s cultural identity
create and enhance play areas such as playgrounds and school yards
produce visuals to accompany/promote a particular event (festival, street party, fundraiser etc.)
produce visuals that support urban planning initiatives / pilot projects
implement strategies that encourage and promote active modes of transportation
Walkscape works in consultation with municipalities, businesses, schools, galleries, commercial associations and other communities to develop creative approaches to creating pedestrian and bike friendly spaces that are both visually stunning and functional. Walkscape also designs participative projects whereby participants of all ages and group sizes can assist in the design and implementation of the project.
Walkscape prioritizes the use of low VOC, water-based and non-toxic paint products that provide a variety of options in terms of durability and are tailored to projects that are ephemeral, semi-permanent or permanent in nature.
