About this event
Join architect and author June Williamson as she presents ideas and material from her recent book, Case Studies in Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Design Strategies for Urgent Challenges, which examines how defunct shopping malls, office parks, parking lots and other obsolete suburban development patterns are being reinvented across North America and how retrofitting them can improve public health, leverage social capital, support an aging society, increase and diversify mobility, and increase environmental resilience in the face of climate change.
The book, co-written with Georgia Tech urban design program director Ellen Dunham-Jones, was the winner of the 2021 Great Places Award for books.
After Williamson’s talk, the Daniels Faculty’s Michael Piper and Richard Sommer will moderate a q&a focusing on the exhibition Housing Multitudes: Reimagining the Landscapes of Suburbia Exhibition, currently in the Daniels Building’s Architecture and Design Gallery. A reception will also follow.
