The kit-of-parts approach to construction is revolutionizing the industry by increasing efficiency and sustainability while reducing waste. At Via Collective, we see exciting opportunities for how this modular strategy can impact urban infrastructure and design. By standardizing components, projects can move faster, adapt more easily, and align with a greener future. As specialists in wayfinding and environmental design, we’re inspired by how this method could integrate seamlessly with our work in public spaces and transportation systems. From modular signage to adaptable wayfinding solutions, the possibilities are endless. What are your thoughts on the future of modular construction? #ConstructionInnovation #ModularDesign #KitOfParts #SustainableDesign #Wayfinding #PublicSpaces #DesignForTheFuture https://lnkd.in/eK5tRXjh

At Via Collective, we’re thrilled to see the Federal Railroad Administration’s latest commitment to rail infrastructure with a $2.4 billion investment! This funding not only advances essential safety upgrades but also enhances accessibility, efficiency, and the overall rider experience. As designers who prioritize clear wayfinding and user-friendly transit spaces, we’re excited to envision the positive impact this investment will have on urban mobility and connectivity across communities. Here’s to smoother, safer, and more connected transit for all! #RailInfrastructure #PublicTransit #UrbanMobility #DesignForAll #Wayfinding https://lnkd.in/gV_NEkvm

Celebrating 15 years today!
15 years ago today NY stamped my incorporation papers. I felt so strongly about the name, “Via”, the Latin word for Way, and focused of the “Collective” of people that contribute to the success of the work, that I decided to trademark it. So grateful for all the incredible people, opportunities, and projects that Via Collective has been a part of. Surviving through thick and thin including the pandemic, market extremes, and all kinds of other celebrations and challenges. Thank you all for your support through it all!

In the latest from @ArchDaily, human-centered design is highlighted as a powerful tool for fostering social connections in our built environments, addressing loneliness on a meaningful level. At Via Collective, we know that wayfinding is integral to creating these connections, not just by guiding individuals through physical spaces but by encouraging engagement with others. Thoughtfully designed wayfinding can be the difference between isolation and interaction, especially in urban settings where design needs to prioritize inclusivity and accessibility. #WayfindingMatters #HumanCenteredDesign #SocialInnovation #ArchitectureForGood #InclusiveDesign #ViaCollective https://bit.ly/3NYmEaC

The Fifth Avenue redesign takes bold steps to make one of New York City's most iconic streets a truly walkable, human-centric environment. As wayfinding designers, we know the value of clear, accessible navigation in spaces like these. By widening sidewalks and adding pedestrian-friendly signage, this transformation will enhance the experience for everyone navigating Fifth Avenue. Through thoughtful planning and design, wayfinding can become a powerful tool that prioritizes ease, safety, and the vibrancy of the public realm. Looking forward to seeing Fifth Avenue thrive for pedestrians! 🌆 #Wayfinding #UrbanDesign #PedestrianExperience #NYC #FifthAvenue #PublicSpace #ViaCollective https://lnkd.in/dzr6XTwT
