Blue Index Station Natural Stone Concept

3D Model

Blue Index is a project to expand public participation in the protection and management of waterways in Austin, Texas. Through a network of 34 stations that span 17 watersheds, outdoor space users are asked to share a photo, take an assessment, and lend their voice to a collaborative effort. The project aims to improve a city’s narrative criteria by demonstrating the connection between the health of our waterways and our own well- being. This harnesses community engagement to advocate for the protection of shared waters and inform policy within a city. Blue Index Photo Stations are stands that allow the public to engage with waterscapes as they pass by. Each Blue Index survey asks the participant to assess his or her experience with the particular waterscape where the station is located. Some questions are related to the way the waterscape makes the participant feel, while others assess the way his or she values it.
