The days of designing for a discrete project are numbered. Today's most forward-thinking architects are finding it their mission to go beyond their project — in terms of both space and time — to consider, and even encourage, land-use patterns in the surrounding area, and to anticipate, and even influence, future events and unexpected consequences. Join Sarah Barrett, architect product specialist at Vectorworks, Inc., as she illustrates practices of placemaking for land-use planning and intelligent urbanism. Attendees will explore three case studies that illustrate how implementing these placemaking practices can have a positive effect on both individuals and surrounding communities.
