Description:&nbsp:
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.&nbsp:
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.&nbsp:


Learning Objectives:
Describe the concept of comprehensive land-use planning and how it can enhance the long-term value of a site. Recognize and support new and innovative approaches to site design and master planning that promote the health and welfare of area residents. Analyze how a proper understanding and management of land with urban density can allow for parks, green space, and the creation of public spaces. Discuss the adaptive reuse project of a contaminated industrial brownfield claimed by the local community for public use and how the site has kept its industrial heritage by reusing materials and infrastructure.
