Shaping the City Exhibit Opening Reception: Designing for the Climate Emergency
October 7, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free
The Shaping the City Exhibit Opening Reception is on Saturday, October 7 at the AIA Center for Design (1000 Saint Charles Ave.) from 6-9PM. Learn more about how cities around the world are building more resilient communities to confront the climate emergency.
Shaping the City is a forum organized by the European Cultural Centre – Italy as part of the public programming of the ECC Venice Architecture Biennial Exhibition titled Time Space Existence.
The forum tackles contemporary urbanization and key issues in the city, presented and debated through the perspectives of a group of academics, urban planners and designers, architects, policy makers, and scholars. Through diverse presentations and panel discussions, the forum confronts the fundamental topics of shaping the cities in the world.
This project is conceived to exchange ideas about the urban future of cities. The evolving discussions recognize the significant role urban planning and design play in molding the interaction of people with their cities and their wellbeing. The forum sets forward new thoughts around the rights to the city, through a spatial, pragmatic, yet inclusive and sustainable approach.
The exhibit will be on display through October 31, Monday through Friday from 1:30-5:30PM. We encourage you to call ahead.
