The Profound Resonance of Water and Structure in Community
Engaging interactive visualization, vision-storming and practical exercises interwoven with the element of story we will explore the profound interconnectedness between water, structure, place, community and well-being. A series of guided and collaborative activities will lead participants through an exploration of individual and cultural stories and how they can help us create on a more profound level. Designers, activists, visionaries, and planners will leave the session with a deeper understanding of the profound resonance of water and structure in community, a template and implementation tips for recreating this mindful process with small groups, and a collaboratively completed application example.
