Denver plants an Urban Forest Project
Denver: The Urban Forest Project is a unique design exhibition featuring the work of over 40 designers and students from all over Colorado. The Urban Forest Project was originally conceived by Worldstudio in conjunction with AIGA NY and Times Square Alliance. Planned to coincide with “Next: AIGA Design Conference 2007,” Denver: The Urban Forest Project will showcase the talent and enthusiasm Colorado has for design and put it on display for the conference attendees.
Each designer began with the form, idea, or character of a tree and was asked to explore a pressing, entertaining or intriguing idea. As the tree is metaphor for sustainability, this exhibition has been realized with minimal environmental impact. Each of the 48 banners on display is printed with water based ink on fabric made entirely from recycled plastic bottles and on completion of the project they will be repurposed into tote bags. All proceeds from the sale of the bags will support Colorado design education initiatives.
