SUMMARY:Storytelling and Connecting Community Through Design
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeThursday\, September 11\, 2025 (4:30–5:30 p.m.) \n\n\n\n\n\nLocationArchitecture & Urban Planning Building\, Lecture Hall (AUP 170) \n\n\n\n\n\nA creative director reflects on the power of story and public engagement to influence design when creating spaces and experiences that connect people in a designed environment. \n\n\n\nThe Art Studio at RDG Planning & Design is honored to have been selected as an exhibitor participant at the U.S. Pavilion at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. This year’s U.S. exhibition theme\, “PORCH: An Architecture of Generosity\,” developed by the commissioning design team\, sets the stage for a way of thinking about a “porch ethos” in design that creates ‘between’ moments of social space and fosters renewed connections between individuals and community. Join me as we explore the power of story\, public engagement and site-responsive design work featuring the exhibited project “Do Something GOOD for your Neighbor” in the Como community in Fort Worth\, TX and more. \n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nMatt Niebuhr RDG Planning & Design\, Senior PartnerRDG Art Studio\, Artist and Creative Director \n\n\n\nMatt Niebuhr is an artist and designer and serves as the Creative Director of the Art Studio at RDG Planning & Design\, where he is also a Senior Partner.
