As part of Pop Up City, the Urban Design Center of Northeast Ohio will conduct a workshop on temporary use projects, such as adaptively reusing pieces of the industrial landscape, as a way of drawing new energy to urban areas. Morning workshops with Berlin artist/designers Klaus Overmeyer, Tore Dobberstein and Andreas Haase, who will present some of their projects including temporary sports facilities or "sportification" for urban sites. Also, Natalie Pauken from the School of Visual Communication Design at Kent will discuss environmental graphics as a temporary use strategy.

In the afternoon, participants will tour several neighborhoods and talk about ideas for temporary use projects for specific sites. The UDC will select and implement at least one temporary use project for a Cleveland neighborhood. The cost to participate is $10. Contact Terry Schwarz at the UDC 216/357-3426.
