Baltimore
a city to watch

On June 26th from 6-9pm at Load of Fun 120 W. North Avenue there was a brainstorming session on the idea of a "Design Center" for Baltimore. The Baltimore design community has been discussing possibilities for such a central place for design and discourse for many years. Such centers have opened with great success in many cities across the world. We, a group of interested parties loosely organized around the AIABaltimore Urban Design Committee have taken this up and organized this event to discuss what such a center could do and how it could be made viable. A call was issued for one page white papers on what this "Design Center" could possibly be and are posted here.
