Stronger connections between people, plants, and architecture can promote user well-being, support resilience, and create places of healing and lasting impact. Join Landscape Architect Ryan Moody and Architectural Photographer Anice Hoachlander in exploring the science supporting the power of these connections and strategies for collaboration between architects, landscape architects, and artists. Happy Hour and panel discussion will be held at ArtHub609, a gallery housed in the offices of Teass\Warren Architects and Moody Graham Landscape.
