David Rubin: Empathy and Inclusivity in the Public Realm
Known for his design talent and advocacy for social justice within urban spaces, David Rubin, founding principal of DAVID RUBIN Land Collective in Philadelphia, will share his concern that the connective tissue of our cities-the "third spaces" between work and home-are not truly public or reflective of the general population. His work reflects his belief that "accessibility begins with the invitation to participate." In this presentation, Rubin will illustrate how his designs explore issues of identity and accessibility with a focus on Franklin Park and the National World War I Memorial in Washington, D.C., as well as Eskenazi Health Hospital and the Cummins Distribution Headquarters in Indianapolis.
