TRANSFORMATION: Through the Eyes of a Designer

A Design Showcase in Rapid Images, featuring the work of landscape designers who have rejuvenated abandoned and tired spaces into places which inspire hope and delight. Presentations by contributing artists and contractors show the many layers, skills, and creative inspirations that go into making a truly memorable landscape. 

Designers’ presentations will be in a PHOTO FLASH format: each presenter gets 10 slides and 20 seconds per slide to tell their story. So many stories to tell – QUICKLY! From empty lot to happy dog park in Dorchester; from post-construction high school devastation to award winning campus in Lexington; from inner-city Boston grunge to fabulous neighborhood oasis; from tired turf to soothing garden for mourning kids in Arlington. How do designers envision and create these miraculous transformations? Come find out – see the stories, mingle with designers, sip, munch. 

Admission is $10 in advance, $15 at the door, and includes appetizers. Specialty beer and wine available. Register on www.cogdesign.org or mail your check to: TRANSFORMATION/COGdesign, 14 Buxton Lane, Waltham, MA 02451.
