Special Events

Dedicated to creating a framework for deeper environmental connection to our food and aims to inspire and empower Americans to build a food system that is sustainable, healthy and delicious, Slow Food Nation is the first-ever American collaborative gathering to unite the growing sustainable food movement and introduce thousands of people to food that is good, clean and fair. Under the aegis of BCV Architects, delegates from local design and food communities came together to form a Design Advisory Committee with the intent to build relationships between food and design activists and professionals, to combine pleasure with responsibility, and to inspire a new era of activism that unites agriculture with a revised sense of potential for city life.
 

REBAR, Public Architecture, and The Trust for Public Land invite you to rethink the way streets are used, consider the need for urban parks, reclaim the streets for bikes and people, and expand the public realm by creating new opportunities for social exchanges.
