The first pilot project of Design for Community Regeneration (D4CR) has been funded for two phases of application in Warren, Minnesota. The project is made possible by funding from the Regional Sustainable Development Partnership, City of Warren, and in-kind support from partner organizations. To see the D4CR Warren Introduction Story Map that outlines phase 1 work, explore below or view it full screen.

Phase 1 is complete resulting in a list of potential regenerative innovations for Warren and Phase 2 is continuing with prioritized projects further evaluated and prototyped to help move the Warren toward implementation.

How can we design the future we want?

Prototype Posters

Prototyping an idea or a mock up of an idea is part of the design process. It allows for input and testing out an idea before it is complete to improve the design, just as drafting and redrafting a paper improves writing. 

The posters summarize prototypes of the four priority project areas. The posters themselves are prototypes too. 

Draft Mini-posters will be shared at the June 16, 2022 Music Festival in Warren for input and online participation. 

Another draft of the mini-posters will be presented at the July 14, 2022 Music Festival

Finally, larger posters and other exhibit items will be shared at the Marshall County Fair July 20-24, 2022 for more public input.
