Interested in innovation, design thinking or social innovation, or maybe the 3? Please join us for a workshop on design thinking and social innovation on February 5, from 2 to 5 PM, at the Greenhouse at NYU Poly Campus in Brooklyn.

This workshop will be led by one of the Design for America Fellow.

Design for America is a network of student-led studios creating local and social impact through interdisciplinary design and our club is in the process of becoming the NYU chapter of Design for America. This is one more reason to join us!

This workshop is free and open to all: undergrads and grads, from all departments and all schools. We’ll do some fun and collaborative activities and end up with a social hour. To help us plan the supplies and the refreshments, please sign up for the event here.

See you on February 5!

Here's an interesting read from The Architect's Newspaper about a park project that took 40 years to complete on Roosevelt island - the site of last year's Gallatin The Big Walk . Join us this year as we check out a slightly bigger park...

This year's BIG Walk will explore the area from the George Washington Bridge to Chelsea Piers. (AKA Riverside Park.) RSVP here: http://gallatin.nyu.edu/utilities/events/2014/04/bigwalk.html

Hey guys - we want to know if you'd be interested in hosting a Jane's Walk as a group during the weekend of May 3-4. That weekend, 100+ free guided walks will be happening throughout the city to celebrate Jane Jacobs' birthday. We were thinking of doing a mini-version of the BIG Walk (happening this Saturday!) that would last about 2 hours.

We want to know - is this something you would be interested in? We would lead the walk as a group - the Gallatin Design Collective. It's not a formal guided tour, more of a discussion and the walk is open to the public. You can bring your friends, you can bring your dog, whoever - and we'll make an event on the Jane's Walk site, so we can get the word out about the GDC and hopefully get a good-sized turnout.

The Jane's Walk are independently organized, but are shared online via the The Municipal Art Society of New York and coordinated May 3-4 to celebrate Jane Jacobs' birthday. You can find out more about the event here: http://mas.org/janes-walk-nyc/

There will be a "Jane's Birthday Party" event Sunday, May 4th from 4-6, so we were thinking we could do our GDC Jane's Walk Sunday earlier in the afternoon. But we want to choose a time that works for everyone, so if you want to help out, we can pick a time together.

If you want to get involved or would even just be interested in coming as a guest and wanna tell us what date/time would work best for you, please email [email protected]!!!

PS - Please RSVP for the The Big Walk this Saturday! http://gallatin.nyu.edu/utilities/events/2014/04/bigwalk.htmlhttp://gallatin.nyu.edu/utilities/events/2014/04/bigwalk.html
