With the Design Museum Boston Urban Innovation Festival just weeks away, the excitement is building at PAYETTE as we are gearing up to compete in the urban hack-a-thon on July 29-31.
The three-day urban hack-a-thon will be tackling challenges surrounding the revitalization of the I-93 overpass, as the ten teams competing will be designing urban solutions in front of the public. The event will give the community an opportunity to observe the design process first-hand and have a voice in the solution by providing feedback to the teams.
Teams competing in the design challenge feature a diverse group of engineers, designers, architects and innovators including PAYETTE, Autodesk, Essential Design, Shepley Bulfinch, Fidelity Labs, Wentworth Institute of Technology, CBT Architects, MassArt, Bose and Stantec.
Here at PAYETTE, we explained to Design Museum Boston why we are very excited to have the opportunity to compete in this event:
