o2NYC Event June 10th

Cooper Union Great Hall

As we welcome more and more designers into the green design movement, we've been noticing a curious trend: the desire to move away from the making of of actual things.

Join us for an inter-disciplinary panel discussion that will draw from the fields of graphic design, product design, urban planning, and architecture to engage some of the big questions and design challenges facing our industry and our world.

Moderator: Allan Chochinov: core77

Panelists:

Wendy Brawer: Green Map Systems
Tamara Giltsoff: ozolab
David Reinfurt: Dexter Sinister
Damon Rich: The Center for Urban Pedagogy

Organized by: Angie Keefer, Jennifer van der Meer, o2NYC

May 3-10 2008: NYC Wildflower Week is hosted by the Torrey Botanical Society as a way to re-engage New Yorkers with the natural heritage so beloved by their namesake, John Torrey.

Started in the 1871 as a way for his students and colleagues to share their knowledge and love of the local flora, this tradition continues today. The Society promotes the exploration and study of plant life, with particular focus on the flora of the New York City metro area. Today, it fosters and supports floristic curiosity through indoor meetings (lectures), outdoor meetings (plant walks), fellowships that support graduate study, and publications.
