CONSIDERING PLACE
an annual panel discussion
Six months after the launch of Place Matters, we paused to reflect on our conception of place and what we have learned, mused, and clarified about belonging to and living in this community. Until this event, our structure had consisted of three monthly series: Life by Design, Makers Among Us, and Sonoma Science. Here we brought the threads together. Considering Place gathered makers, designers, and scientists in a single conversation to uncover new patterns and paradigms that expand our understanding of why place matters.
