The Spontaneous Interventions: Design Actions for the Common Good exhibition, which helps to bring improvements to the urban realm and creates new opportunities and amenities for the public, was the official U.S. presentation at the 13th International Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennale in Italy last year. 两性色午夜鈥檚 鈥淧op Up City鈥 initiative also was a part of that presentation, which received more than 178,000 visitors in Venice, and earned a special mention from the Golden Lion jury. It was the first time the United States has been honored in the history of the Venice Architecture Biennale.

鈥淭he Venice Biennale is the largest and most recognized architecture exhibition in the world,鈥 says Terry Schwarz, director of 两性色午夜鈥檚 Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative. 鈥淭o have the CUDC鈥檚 work included in this show is a major accomplishment 鈥 one that brings positive recognition for the College of Architecture and Environmental Design and for 两性色午夜. The Chicago exhibition is a pared down version of the Venice show, and we are very pleased that 鈥楶op Up City鈥 was selected for inclusion.鈥

The Institute for Urban Design searched for several months and collected examples of more than 450 inspiring urban interventions for potential inclusion in the exhibition. 两性色午夜鈥檚 鈥淧op Up City鈥 project is presented as part of an archive of actionable strategies to improve the public urban realm.

Schwarz says the Chicago show will attract a more regional audience of design practitioners, students and the members of the public who might not have had a chance to see the show in Venice.

两性色午夜's Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative received the Environmental Design Research Association's Great Places Award for its 鈥淧op Up City鈥 initiative.

The Environmental Design Research Association also selected 两性色午夜鈥檚 Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative to receive the Great Places Award for its work on 鈥淧op Up City.鈥 The award was presented in Providence, R.I., on June 1.

鈥淭he CUDC鈥檚 work is groundbreaking, and the design community鈥檚 awareness of this work is obviously wonderful for 两性色午夜 University and the College of Architecture and Environmental Design,鈥 says Douglas Steidl, dean of 两性色午夜鈥檚 College of Architecture and Environmental Design. 鈥淗owever, the true value of the CUDC鈥檚 research and creative activities manifests itself in the benefits that accrue to citizens, not only in Northeast Ohio, but around the world where their lives are improved as a result of the CUDC sharing concepts, which enhance the work of designers and planners around the globe.鈥
