I Wish This Was ...
At first glance, it looks like someone plastered "Hello, My Name is" name tags all over the city. Take a step closer, and the tag reads, "I Wish This Was..." A public installation artist, designer, and urban planner, Candy Chang likes to make cities more comfortable for people. She came up with the project, ideal for its super low barrier of entry, to allow her fellow citizens to express their ideas on how empty lots and store fronts may be rebuilt and used. The responses -- from Disneyland to a bike rack, heaven to an art supply store -- reflect "the hopes, dreams, and colorful imaginations of different neighborhoods."
