Designer, architect, artist and urbanist Walter Hood described some of nationwide design projects and the agrarian roots in modern day urbanism yesterday at SU’s School of Architecture.
Below is an excerpt form his talk, which focuses on the “Find the Rivers” project Hood did in Pittsburgh, PA. The “Rivers” geographic location is the setting for many of the plays by August Wilson called the Hill District.
Hood, who is based in Oakland CA, was in town for the 2011 Werner Seligman lecture.
