While it’s easy to fall in love with a city on a sunny day, how can our environments support the needs of our residents through less inviting times? Join us as we explore this question and discover the true meaning of Seasonal Effective Design.
Seasonal Effective Design integrates biodynamic placemaking practices to allow for greater social and ecological resilience. In this workshop we will work together on multiple case studies across North America and explore user-designed contextual interventions.
Questions we will discuss include:
-How can we create local support systems that accomodate social needs throughout the year?
-Why does our urban infrastructure collect puddles of water when it rains rather than accommodate absorption?
-How can we mitigate seasonal affective disorder through placemaking?
-How can we foster a symbiotic relationship in our urban ecosystems?
