Arts Collaborative Green Infrastructure – An Intensive Workshop
Learn the value of collaborative, arts-collaborative, community-embedded “green” infrastructure. Through presenting ideas and examples of existing works and practices in arts-collaborative sustainable infrastructure design, this intensive 2-day workshop will explore how these collaborative projects break new ground and can contribute to community resilience. We will consider local applications of these ways of working, and collectively brainstorm designs for a local site, or sites.
This is being offered as part of Langara College's Sustainable Communities Summer School
