November 06, 2021 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Charles River Waterfront & Moakley Park
Free and open to the public
This fall, join landscape architects and designers; clients, advocates, and activists; students and citizens for small group, socially distant site tours of landscapes throughout our region. Prioritizing issues of climate and health, equity and resilience, each tour will discuss ideas and implementation as we explore these landscapes together. This special pair of tours is being jointly offered as part of the Boston Society for Architecture, BosNOMA, and BSA Women in Design's hybrid, multi-day symposium Intersections: Equity, Environment + the City.
On-site tour group size will be small (~20). Your health is essential, along with adherence to leading guidance on outdoor gatherings. Extra masks will be available at the tour. BSLA is pursuing LA CES accreditation.
