PURL is both sponsor and host of design studios, seminars and other curricular programs. We also coordinate with local municipalities in creating sponsored studios where Herberger Institute students are able to work on actual projects that the cities are looking to put on the ground.
PURL supported three studios during the 2008-09 academic year: Glendale Centerline Urban Planning and Design Studios; and the Big Box Reimagining Studio. The Glendale Centerline project is a sponsored studio with the City of Glendale, assisting with the city's efforts to revitalize their downtown corridor. PURL is sponsoring the Big Box studio, a project examining how exisitng big box retail locations could be reimagined or repurposed to capitalize on urban density and retail identitifation advantages unique to the big box site.
For more information on PURL supported studios, or if you would like to propose a studio topic, please contact Nancy Levinson at (480) 727-9890, or via email at nancy.levinson@asu.edu.
