Music and poetry exist in time,
Painting and architecture in space,
But dance lives at once in time and space.
In the presentation of “Dance Form and Landscape Architecture”, Flora Yeh will show works of the artists that inspire her, take you to discover design possibility through dance and music, and discuss her thinking in some of her projects.
Please join us for a Brown Bag Lunch with Margaret Harrison, the landscape architect working on the Beacon Hill Food Forest.

"Platform" is a quarterly pecha kucha series investigating work on rich and varying themes in the design professions in order to create dialogue and transdisciplinary networking opportunities between students, faculty and professionals of the College of Built Environments.
The Platform series Pecha Kucha Night, consists of around a dozen presentations, each presenter having 20 slides, each shown for 20 seconds on a timer. Thus, each presenter has just 6 minutes and 40 seconds to explain their ideas before the next takes the stage. Conceived as a venue through which young designers could meet, show their work, exchange ideas, and network, the format keeps presentations concise and fast-paced.
This years theme will be Laboratory and Lens - focusing on the myriad projects taking place in the CBE labs and travel experiences of study abroad as told from the student perspective.
