On On September 8, 2012, architect Quilian Riano (DSGN AGNC) and city planner Aurash Khawarzad (Change Administration) led a structured conversation that began at Immigrant Movement International and ended at Corona Plaza.  Almost twenty community members and a few SPQ students participated in the conversation, which had the goal of providing Quillian and Aurash a better understanding of what challenges and opportunities the people of Corona expect with the creation of this new public space.

Both Quillian and Aurash have been commissioned by QMA under the Corona Studio program to develop programming and temporary installations on the site.  They will use participatory processes to propose and take action on ideas that provide opportunities for recreation, education, commerce, and more.

Here are some images from the workshop:
