Duration:Jan 2021 - May 2022Project Overview:
This project was the result of an
interdisciplinary experiential design collaboration.
Teaming up with students across various design disciplines, we took on the challenge of conceptualizing an elevated museum, dining, and retail space for the MLS team Sporting Kansas City. Through a highly collaborative dynamic, our work addressed spatial design, visual identity, experiential design, narrative development, and more.
Woven Dreams is the notion that people from various walks of life can come together under the spirit of Sporting KC. We envision a place where people can share and experience moments of joy. The beauty of the game is a symbolic reflection of the diverse journeys we all go through. There deserves to be a space to celebrate the past, present, and future of both the game and Kansas City.
