EXPANDING ARCHITECTURE: Conversations on Design as Activism January 22, 2009

SPONSORED BY Steelcase, Inc.

Designers! You have the potential to benefit many more people than you currently reach. No, this is not a call for pro bono work. Instead, we challenge you to play a direct role in solving critical social and environmental problems. And incorporate this outreach into your practice that serves an ever-growing client base with real needs.

Join in the conversation with Metropolis magazine’s editor in chief Susan S. Szenasy, featured writers from the new Metropolis Books title, Expanding Architecture; Design as Activism, and designers, developers, educators, manufacturers, and policy makers, together, figure out how to make a difference.

Panelists include Bryan Bell, founder and executive director of Design Corps; David Green, associate partner, Perkins +Will; Faset J. (Bill) Seay, architect and planner; Steve Badanes, founder of Jersey Devil and teacher; Brett Kincaid, manager of design, Steelcase Inc.; and Erik Mehlman, AIA, Principal, STUDIO B Architecture, PC.
