Reception: Designing, Crafting and Building Community: 30 Years of Practicing a Design / Build Learning Model

Join us for the Designing, Crafting and Building Community exhibition's accompanying reception. The reception will be from 6-8pm, with brief remarks at 6:30. --------- Designing, Crafting and Building Community represents a reflective “looking back” over thirty years since the design / build model was embedded into the Department of Landscape Architecture’s Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (BLA) program at the University of Washington.  As a unique model of teaching, learning and community service, the exhibition includes voices of past and current participants, and shows the narrative of its evolution.  At the heart of this program, design / build addresses issues of social justice, green building, ecological and sustainable design and supporting students to explore materials, forms, and responsive design. Employing multimedia, this immersive exhibition is a mosaic illustrating the diversity of projects, community partners, student experiences, and award-winning projects. The exhibition will be on… Campus location: Gould Hall (GLD). Campus room: Gould Gallery. Accessibility Contact: CBE Events Manager - cbeevents@uw.edu. CBE Categories: Urban Design & Planning.

UDP PC Lecture: When Driving is Not an Option with Author and Advocate Anna Zivarts

Join Anna Letitia Zivarts, author of When Driving is Not an Option, for an evening lecture exploring why the needs of involuntary non-drivers should be central to how we design our transportation systems and communities. When we design with non-drivers in mind, we not only make it easier for everyone to get where they need to go, but also create healthier, more climate-friendly communities. Anna is a low-vision mom, disability advocate, and fellow nondriver. She will shine a light on the realities faced by non-drivers and show how more inclusive transportation systems can improve quality of life for all. The lecture will be followed by a reception.

In the Twin Cities, there is a groundswell of awareness and advocacy that nurtures the critical relationships between these human and environmental systems across policy, design, and community forums.
