Nolan Park - Building 9

Vis­it the IPA’s overnight res­i­den­cy pro­gram on the Island at their Open [Block] House series. The IPA uses design to chal­lenge social and phys­i­cal inequities in the city by host­ing focused design res­i­den­cies and relat­ed pro­grams. For the Sum­mer 2022 sea­son, the IPA has invit­ed ear­ly and mid-career prac­ti­tion­ers and aca­d­e­mics to the Block House (Nolan Park Build­ing 9) from the fields of social and envi­ron­men­tal equi­ty, cli­mate change adap­ta­tion, and com­mu­ni­ty-based alter­na­tives to spec­u­la­tive real estate devel­op­ment. These IPA Fel­lows will work on inde­pen­dent projects and par­tic­i­pate in a series of Open [Block] House events through­out the sum­mer to share their work with the pub­lic, cul­mi­nat­ing in a final pre­sen­ta­tion and pub­lic exhi­bi­tion. Fel­lows will be pre­sent­ing their project progress in the var­i­ous spaces of the Block House. Join a fel­low ​“spot­light” to hear direct­ly from the fel­lows and ask ques­tions. Stop by an Open [Block] House to view works in progress and learn more.
