SUMMARY:Big Ideas with Dream It. Grow It. [workshop]
DESCRIPTION:Gardens are being established with increasing frequency in the urban environs. Yet design basics and opportunities for inclusivity are being overlooked. To tackle this\, Chicago-based S.I. participants Yael Breimer and Allie O’Neill created an approachable tool\, Dream It. Grow It.\, that educates users about the design process\, broadens definitions of “garden\,” and introduces concepts of universal design and accessibility for all. This workshop introduces the first of a three-step design process\, Dream It\, that promotes free thought and cooperative design\, while challenging people to imagine big. \n

SUMMARY:Spontaneous Urbanisms [panel]
DESCRIPTION:Spontaneous Urbanisms examines the state of the city and some of the motivating factors for the wave of citizen-led actions to improve the public urban realm. From urban blight to uneven development\, property abandonment to stalled developments\, social alienation to an overly privatized public sphere\, urban interventionists are asserting their “right to the city.” This panel will frame the movement—the urge of architects\, designers\, and everyday citizens to step in and fill in the gap where traditional top-down planning has failed or left areas of neglect—in a larger historical\, cultural and political context. \nPanelists include:  Teddy Cruz\, Estudio Teddy Cruz; Gordon Douglas\, Department of Sociology\, University of Chicago; Roberta Feldman\, College of Architecture and the Arts\, University of Illinois\, Chicago; Michael Sorkin\, Institute for Urban Design and Terreform \n

SUMMARY:From Tactical to Strategic: What’s Next? [panel]
DESCRIPTION:What happens after the interventionist stage of urban engagement? This panel brings together architects\, curators\, and cultural instigators who explore a wide range of scales of design and production from the tactical to the strategic to investigate the promise and pitfalls of bottom-up design. Speakers will address the wide-scale use of these kinds of practices in activating the urban realm and community building\, the lifespan of temporary projects\, and\, importantly\, the relationship these projects have to policy and government. \nPanelists include: Stephen Zacks\, Flint Public Art Project; Douglas Burnham\, envelope a+d; and Anne Guiney\, Institute for Urban Design \n
