Idea: Urban Webb Submitted by: Megan Fullagar, Montgomery Wilkinson, Gaines Solomon, Amanda Sengstacken, Waldo Mariscal, Chia Chou and Mrunalini Kulkarni The Urban Web, under the Manhattan Bridge, will transform an underused portion of the Coleman Oval Skatepark on Manhattan's Lower East Side, into a multisensory interactive installation. The inspirations for web's iconic design were influenced by the dynamic cable geometries of the Manhattan Bridge, as well as the chaotic street grid that forms the Lower East Side. It is our passion for humanitarian design that inspired us to take a minimally invasive approach in using ropes to create unique volumes and intriguing spaces to be enjoyed by all. While the web compliments the adjacent skate park, it also functions on its own to be used for street performances, or just to frame an urban room.

This content is brought to you by GOOD, with the support of the BMW Guggenheim Lab A month ago, GOOD and the BMW Guggenheim Lab teamed up toannounce the project Transform a Public Place, a call for ideas on how to make a public space in your city more comfortable. Ideas will be reviewed by Maria Nicanor, curator of the BMW Guggenheim Lab, a mobile laboratory bringing together new ideas for improving urban life. The ideas selected by Nicanor will be featured in a special post on GOOD and also on the BMW Guggenheim Lab websites and other social media. The project closed on July 17 and we've received many submissions with fascinating, groundbreaking and quirky ideas from all over the world. While we're still going through them to highlight our favorites, we wanted to share another sneak peek at some of the innovative ideas we've received so far. See some of the other submissions here. Be sure to check back with us as we share more ideas and Nicanor's top picks.
