Across the country, Michele Grace Hottel, a San Diego architect, watched people create their own pop-up outdoor spaces.  

“I saw people set up outdoor rooms in the front, side and backyards and even their driveways. They put down dining tables and chairs and added fire pits. They reimagined places for small gatherings with family, friends and neighbors,” she said.
