gabriel’s place


the gabriel’s place node works with our fantastic community partners — the avondale community council, avondale development corporation, and the avondale library — to:

  • learn what neighbors already know — and want to know — about health and well-being
  • understand what kind of space neighbors want, and what health and environmental topics should be part of the nodes design
  • imagine what the node deisgn could look like through collaborative design workshops with neighbors

throughout the process, we’ll ask for feedback with short questionnaires. after installation, we’ll also check how the space is being used and how it’s helping the community.
