Bland Hoke and Howard Chambers explore how design can transform cities, making them more dynamic and turning them into real community assets. Cities work best when they are designed for people. This is a belief that informs much of the work Parson the New School for Design graduates Bland Hoke and Howard Chambers do.

Bland Hoke: Artist/Transdisciplinarian Bland has always got something going on whether it be elaborate public art projects or floating down a river on his homemade hammock raft. When I visited Bland in Green Point NY, we talked about his philosophies behind designing public art pieces, we flew a massive kite over the east river with a camera attached to it, and we started a new batch of sprouts. Bland is a transdisciplinary doer of all. More about Bland - blandhoke.com Follow Bland on Instagram @blandhoke Music by Remy Milosky - remysart.com
