  1. City Share: Community Design+Build Friday, October 07, 2011

    Please join us at noon on Wednesday, October 12th for City Share at CreateHere.

    City Share is a conversation-based speaker series focused on sharing creative solutions to community issues and giving community members an opportunity to dialogue with individuals from around the country using web-based video projection.

    Dan Harding is an Associate Professor of Architecture Design+Build and serves as the Director of the Community Research and Design Center (CRDC) as well as studioSOUTH at Clemson University. He is also the founding partner and Principal Design Director of Intrinsik Architecture, a full service architecture, planning, and design+build practice based in Bozeman, Montana.

    As Director of the CRDC and studioSOUTH at Clemson University, Harding provides opportunities for his students to work collaboratively with communities to design and construct solutions to real needs within the community. Engaging the community in the design process both fosters personal relationships between students and clients, and allows the community to take ownership of the built work.

    By using a multidisciplinary approach, Harding is bringing planners, architects, builders and researchers together to create better designs and solutions. This multidisciplinary approach also enhances the ability to work on projects at different scales, emphasizing the importance of understanding each project’s connection to the larger community.

    Please join us on Wednesday, October 12th at noon for a conversation with Dan Harding regarding his professional practice, community efforts, sustainability, and the nature of a design+build praxis.

    Lunch will be provided by Sweet Peppers Deli.
