Session Details
As part of the U.S. Pavilion at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, The Art Studio at RDG Planning & Design was selected as an exhibitor participant. This year’s U.S. exhibition theme, “PORCH: An Architecture of Generosity,” developed by the commissioning design team, sets the stage for a way of thinking about a “porch ethos” in design that creates ‘between’ moments of social space and fosters renewed connections between individuals and community. Join me as we explore the power of story, public engagement and site-responsive design work featuring the exhibited project “Do Something GOOD for your Neighbor” in the Como community in Fort Worth, TX and more.
Join Matt Niebuhr at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee as he reflects on the power of story and public engagement to influence design when creating spaces and experiences that connect people in a designed environment.
