2020 VIRTUAL Design Symposium
Friday, September 11, 12:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Saturday, September 12, 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
NOURISH
Just as soil, water and plants are the building blocks of well-being, so creativity and reflection sustain design capacity, and good design nourishes both the natural environment and the public realm. ASLA Oregon’s 2020 Design Symposium will illustrate these ideas at a variety of scales and perspectives. Join us as our speakers share their experience and initiatives in nourishment of themselves, the community, and the planet.
