Mental health is often considered on an individual level. However, the public spaces we navigate daily are the primary gateway to our well-being: streets, squares, facades, and parking lots influence our moods, rhythms, and relationships.
Why integrate art and color into public spaces?
Des œuvres in situ pour apaiser, activer et relier
Our approach combines urban art and active design to transform journeys into clear and comforting experiences:
- Adding artistic elements to the street can reduce anxiety, stress, and negative mood, with effects comparable to greening interventions.
- Squares and parking lots decorated with murals reduce perceived stress and improve mood.
Des environnements colorés et enrichis visuellement sont associés à un confort perçu plus élevé et à une baisse du stress par rapport à des espaces uniformes.
Autrement dit : peindre un mur, un sol, une façade n’est pas qu’un geste esthétique, c’est une action urbaine qui agit sur le cerveau et sur le ressenti.
PALM: transforming endured places into chosen spaces
As practitioners of in situ art, we observe daily that a well-designed mural can make a site more welcoming, reduce daily anxiety, and strengthen social connection. Each project is custom-designed to serve users, local values, and contribute to a more humane city.
Mental health is becoming a global priority. What if we considered color, art, and active design as true allies for urban well-being?
To make art a living and shared experience, contributing to collective well-being.
