The program aims to answers the following questions:

Beat the Heat This Summer Using Downtown Design
As one of the Four Points of the Main Street Approach, design is a fundamental element of a thriving downtown district. Main Streets emphasize people-centered design, which ensures that the physical elements of a place reflect the needs and desires of the community. Weather conditions play a significant role in how we interact with downtown spaces—it can encourage people to explore or keep them in their cars and homes. A well-designed Main Street takes weather into account to create an environment that welcomes everyone. This summer, look at the design of your Main Street and consider implementing some of these changes to beat the summer heat.

When you arrive at the 15th floor of Publicis Groupe’s 375 Hudson Street building, there is no formal signage or reception introducing Le Truc. Instead, you enter through a simple Sheetrock entryway, ribbed with an almost lenticular system with a gradient that transforms from purple to orange. The cumulative effect is dramatic—a portal between the standard offices that surround it and the vibrant world of Le Truc. “It’s a transformation. It’s not your home. It’s almost this spaceship,” joked Knutson during our walk-through. “It sets you apart from where you’ve been, puts you in a different mindset.”
