Although West Yellowstone, Montana sits at the doorstep of some of the nation’s most iconic public lands, the town itself—home to just 700 year-round residents but more than 4 million annual visitors—lacks welcoming public spaces. 3FWILD has been working closely with the community to envision a greenway that improves access to Yellowstone National Park and Custer Gallatin National Forest and creates a hub for residents, workers, and visitors alike. 3FWILD @3fwild is a landscape architecture and community engagement practice designing infrastructure to serve both residents and the environment. 3FWILD’s nature+infrastructure practice designs sustainable infrastructure for wild places.

In the mountain valley of Jackson Hole, streets are being reimagined as multimodal corridors that strengthen neighborhood connections. In coastal New York City, streets are being redesigned to be more accessible to a broader range of users—and more resilient to a changing climate. And in rural Wyoming, highway underpasses are being evaluated for their ability to reduce barriers to wildlife migration. Across these diverse contexts, 3FWILD integrates design, ecological systems thinking, and community engagement to explore how streets can evolve to better serve today’s needs—whether in a community of 10,000 or a city of 8 million. 3FWILD @3fwild is a landscape architecture and community engagement practice designing infrastructure to serve both residents and the environment. 3FWILD’s nature+infrastructure practice designs sustainable infrastructure for wild places.

Infrastructure interrupts wildlife movement, and disturbs aquatic and terrestrial habitats, yet it is critical for human quality of life – it allows us to move, play and connect. In our wild places, the core question of sustainable development is well-pronounced – how do we continue to improve our quality of life while reducing the negative environmental impact? 3FWILD @3fwild is a landscape architecture and community engagement practice designing infrastructure to serve both residents and the environment. 3FWILD’s nature+infrastructure practice designs sustainable infrastructure for wild places.

Enjoying The Neurodiverse City street design prototype by WIP Collaborative in Lower Manhattan earlier this fall. Imagine if urban public spaces were designed in ways that made them more neuroinclusive—with architectures that invite relaxation, engagement, and play, plants with multi sensory characteristics, familiar wayfinding graphics, and audio elements from nature that contrast hectic city streets. ✨ The Neurodiverse City is an initiative by WIP Collaborative, @veronacarpenter , and @designtrustnyc that is reimagining NYC public spaces to better support neurodiversity through co-creative research and design with neurodivergent self-advocates. Fabrication by @thirdkindstudio , plants by @landonianfig @rutarhus , and sound/vibration elements by @mischa_the_bear Photos by @kattmanzueta and David Ader. The WIP team included Sonya Gimon, Lindsay Harkema, Abby Coover, Bryony Roberts, Ryan Brooke Thomas, Elsa Ponce, Sera Ghadaki, and Sasha Topolnytska. Special thanks to AHRC New York City @ahrcnyc

The Neurodiverse City street design prototype by WIP Collaborative is now open at Louise Nevelson Plaza in Lower Manhattan! Culminating a multi-year research and design partnership with @designtrustnyc and @ahrcnyc , the prototype tests possibilities for neuroinclusive public streets by implementing design ideas developed through participatory workshops with neurodivergent self-advocates. The prototype includes architectural elements, plants, and graphic components designed in response to opportunities identified through the workshops, like the interest in being closer to trees, long views, tactile components, and semi-sheltered spaces. Fabricated by @thirdkindstudio , the architectural elements invite visitors to touch, sit, lean, lay down, or climb on and enjoy those experiential opportunities. The plants, curated by local artist and gardener Landon Newton @rutarhus , include grasses, perennials, and small shrubs selected to provide layered sensory experiences through sight, sound, touch, and smell—creating environments that are both stimulating and restorative. Visitors can enjoy the movement and shifting light of grasses, touch the velvet softness of lamb’s ears, and breathe in the fragrance of hyssop, goldenrods, and mountain mint, all species that thrive in NYC.  The graphic dots applied to the plaza’s hardscape invite passersby to step, wander, or hop closer to the elements, and to take a pause from the hustle of city life. Sounds introduced by @mischa_the_bear add another dimension, enveloping visitors in natural soundscapes and grounding vibrations. It was a joy to launch the prototype with workshops and public events last week. Come visit and share your insights until mid Oct! Photos by Katt Manzueta and WIP. The Neurodiverse City is a design initiative by WIP Collaborative, Verona Carpenter Architects, and The Design Trust that is reimagining NYC public spaces to better support neurodiversity. The WIP team included Sonya Gimon, Lindsay Harkema, Abby Coover, Bryony Roberts, Ryan Brooke Thomas, Elsa Ponce, Sera Ghadaki, and Sasha Topolnytska.

This past fall, WIP Collaborative continued the work for The Neurodiverse City in partnership with @designtrustnyc and @ahrcnyc through site surveying and design visioning workshops conducted with neurodivergent self advocates about their experiences and ideas for NYC streets. The Neurodiverse City is a research and design initiative aiming to improve public spaces to better support neurodiversity. The findings of these workshop activities will inform the creation of temporary built installations to test design ideas later this year. An online survey was launched alongside these in person activities, inviting all New Yorkers to share their experiences of NYC streets. Link in bio to contribute! The Neurodiverse City Streets research persists through the efforts of the WIP team: Sonya Gimon, Lindsay Harkema, Abby Coover, Elsa Ponce, Sasha Topolnytska, Sera Ghadaki, Bryony Roberts, and Ryan Brooke Thomas. Alongside WIP’s focus on NYC streets, @veronacarpenter is conducting a parallel design study about playspaces. Workshop photographs by Katt Manzueta. 📸

Featured in the Summer 2024 “Future of the Profession” issue of Oculus magazine, WIP’s “Soft Fits” public installation for @thebentway and our non-hierarchical approach to practice. Also featured is “Spatializing Reproductive Justice”, a traveling exhibition about the inequities of and restrictions to reproductive healthcare after Roe v. Wade and how designers can work to enable access, on view at @centerforarch until Sep 3! The exhibition features student work from design studios taught by the curatorial team in Fall 2022 at @columbiagsapp @spitzerschool_ccny and @syr_arch .

Happy world landscape architecture month!!! Follow along as these organizations take over our Instagram account to share more about their work throughout April 🎉🌱.

Successful first public streetscape survey with a great group of self-advocates for The Neurodiverse City research! It was a perfect day to walk NYC streets of different scales together and identify their positive and negative characteristics. More streetscape surveys to come! Thank you to our partners @designtrustnyc and @includenyc , and our collaborators @veronacarpenter who are conducting surveys of NYC playspaces. And to @jezzchung for joining us and advising our process.
