SUMMARY:Field Trip: South End Architectural Walking Tour with David Hacin (BOS)
DESCRIPTION:Field Trip: South End Architectural Walking Tour with David Hacin\nJoin CoDesign Collaborative for an architectural walking tour of Boston’s South End led by David Hacin\, FAIA.\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Join CoDesign Collaborate on Thursday\, May 1\, from 3–5pm ET for a guided architectural walking tour of Boston’s South End. (Note\, the rain date has moved from Thursday\, May 8\, from 3-5pm ET to Friday\, May 9\, from 3-5pm ET.) \nJoin Hacin President and Creative Director\, David Hacin\, FAIA\, on a walking tour through his home neighborhood that will highlight classic South End moments such as the bow-front townhouses of Union Park and the vibrant thoroughfare of Tremont Street\, as well as the up and coming SoWa Art and Design District (with nods to the firm’s various projects from the past three decades along the way). The tour will last approximately two hours with a networking session at Tatte on Harrison Avenue to start and ending at the Boston Center for the Arts. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. \nThe South End has a long history of reinventing itself. Comprised of mostly marshland during the time of Boston’s founding\, the neighborhood was filled in in the mid-1800s and was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Most recently\, its transformation in the last thirty years has changed it from a neighborhood trapped in a frustrating cycle of neglect and disinvestment to one of the most vibrant and beloved parts of Boston\, with a resonant architectural character and an effective process of incremental urbanism. \nArchitecture and design firm Hacin has long called the South End its home and the firm’s extensive body of work in the neighborhood includes townhouses and historic renovations\, restaurants\, a public park\, a community garden\, hundreds of housing units across the spectrum of affordable and luxury\, and a non-profit headquarters. Over the studio’s thirty-year history\, Hacin has demonstrated a commitment to the community and has been grateful to play a part in the area’s current success. \nField Trips are a benefit of membership in the Design Impact Society and Corporate + Academic Membership. Individual+ Members register for $10\, Access Members register for $13 and not-yet-Members register for $15. Student Members register for FREE on a limited\, first-come\, first-served basis. \n  \nAbout David Hacin: \nDavid J. Hacin\, FAIA is the Founding Principal and Creative Director of Hacin\, an interdisciplinary architecture and design firm founded in Boston in 1993. \nThe son of an architect and born in Geneva\, Switzerland\, David received his Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from Princeton University summa cum laude and his Masters of Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design with distinction. David has served on the Northeastern University School of Architecture Advisory Board and has engaged a guest critic and lecturer at design schools across the country\, such as Northeastern University\, Harvard University\, MIT\, the University of Virginia\, Kansas State University\, and the Boston Architectural College. \nDavid has participated as a member of numerous design juries and panels\, given a TedX talk\, and guest-edited the journal ArchitectureBoston.

SUMMARY:The Current: CoDesign in Practice
DESCRIPTION:The Current: CoDesign in Practice\nJoin us for a virtual lightning talk with Parsons student Monisha Raju and Gamar Markarian about the broader challenges of co-design.\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					            \n	\n	 \n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					             \nTickets\n \n            \n				\n			 \n\n            \n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Join CoDesign Collaborative for The Current\, a virtual\, student-led lightning talk series highlighting vital topics in design\, on May 29\, 12:30-1 pm ET / 9:30-10 am PT to discuss Co-Design with Parsons Design student Monisha Raju and multidisciplinary designer\, strategist\, and storyteller\, Gamar Markarian. \n\n“Co-design brings together lived experience\, lived expertise and professional experience to learn from each other and make things better – by design.” – McKercher\, K. A. (2020)\, Beyond sticky notes \n\nIn the 21st century\, the boundaries of design as a discipline have expanded\, evolving from a siloed field into a collaborative and multidisciplinary practice. Design schools now prepare students not only to be makers but also to become co-creators\, facilitators\, and systems thinkers. Designers are equipped with adaptable ways of thinking that can be applied across diverse roles and sectors—from grassroots community work to corporate environments. \nThis evolution positions designers to collaborate meaningfully with communities\, empowering them to collectively author their futures. However\, co-design is not without its challenges. Its practice varies significantly depending on the organizational context\, requiring adaptability and sensitivity to different dynamics. \nThis talk will explore the broader disciplinary challenges of co-design\, drawing from the speaker’s experiences—from working closely with communities to navigating the transition into corporate spaces and addressing: \n\nThe real-world challenges of practicing co-design approaches.\nHow designers and community-centered practitioners can celebrate shared knowledge without being extractive.\nHow we\, as designers\, can bring our expertise\, skills\, and commitment to co-design into diverse organizational contexts\, particularly in corporate environments.\n\n  \nAbout Monisha Raju: \nMonisha is a graduate student in the Strategic Design and Management Program. She is a trained architect with experience working with multidisciplinary design practices in India. Her work is at the intersection of contextually sensitive design\, cultural history\, and community engagement. She has designed and worked on projects ranging from museum experiences to housing for elderly communities\, with a strong focus on sustainable materials and thoughtful design. She has also explored the work–live relationships of communities involved in traditional crafts in India\, aiming to understand and support the systems that sustain these practices. Outside of her academic and professional work\, Monisha is drawn to hands-on artistic practices. She is skilled in painting with different mediums\, enjoys visiting museums\, organizing and curating workshops. Lately\, she enjoys running through New York City’s neighborhoods\, drawing inspiration from its layered stories. \nAbout Gamar Markarian: \nGamar Markarian is a multidisciplinary designer\, strategist\, and visual storyteller with over 17 years of experience\, specializing in planetary-centered design\, systems thinking\, and community engagement. As a design strategist\, she believes creativity thrives through collective effort and has spent 8 years with Philadelphia Mural Arts\, facilitating community-driven collaborative projects. Gamar values inclusivity and collaboration\, weaving storytelling into her work to connect people\, ideas\, and places. She also teaches in the Strategic Design and Management (BBA) program at Parsons The New School for Design\, where she coordinates the Design Research 1: Methods course. Gamar herself is a graduate of the MS in Design and Urban Ecologies at Parsons. Outside of work\, she celebrates her heritage through cooking and finds joy in creating new friendships and meaningful connections. \n \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Thursday\, May 29\, 2025\n12:30 – 1 pm ET / 9:30 – 10 am PT\nVirtual Lightning Talk\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nFree for Students\, Members & Partners(see your email for the promo code)!$5 General Admission.
