Creative Placemaking

Typology of Temporary Landscapes

Temporary landscapes show a broad range of placemaking initiatives. On one end of the spectrum we have temporary landscapes that can be replicated and relocated anywhere. The placemaking success of these landscapes capitalizes on easy to follow DIY instructions and universally easy to find materials (eg: Wood pallets). These projects may contrast with their surroundings but are nonidentical when compared to each other.  On the other end of the spectrum are temporary landscapes that are very grounded in their setting. . The placemaking successes of these landscapes utilize thorough stakeholder or public input and reference to local history or culture. These projects may or may not contrast with their surroundings but are unique when compared to each other. Temporary landscapes capture a full spectrum of placemaking.
