In advance of this evening’s Green Spaces Competition in Richmond (details here), check out this video created by 3north architect, Damon Pearson and interior designer, Emily Smith. The video was produced by Double Take, and 3north landscape architect Andrea Almond helped coordinate the video with Dominion Resources. 

Emily describes the video: 

“This was part of an investigation into who uses Kanawha Plaza… when they use it… and how they use it. We were able to observe sun patterns, circulation, and program from the 20^th floor of the Dominion Resources office building. All of this to provide additional understanding and context.”

This evening at Storefront for Community Design as part of First Friday’s Artwalk. Co-sponsored by 3north and Inaray.

C3 May Breakfast Club:TedxRVA Reflections with Andy Stefanovich
May 14, 2013

Fresh off the heels of TEDxRVA, Andy Stefanovich will reflect upon the journey that culminated in an inspiring, ground-breaking day for RVA. As the curator of TEDxRVA, Andy will share his insights and perspective about what moved him the most, what he’s doing differently as a result, and what he’s got in store for TEDxRVA and the greater Richmond creative community. This will be a highly interactive discussion — audience members will be invited to share their inspirational TEDxRVA moments and actions they’ve since taken to CREATE. 

As Chief Curator and Provocateur at Prophet, Andy has earned a reputation as one of the most disruptive and effective advisors in business. He has spent the past 20 years helping companies like GE, General Mills, Proctor & Gamble, The United States Olympic Committee, and the Coca Cola Company drive innovation from the inside out — enriching their people and driving marketplace growth.

The weather stabilized for long enough to get outside and breathe the fresh spring air (via a scooter side-car ride), but here’s the other stuff we had a chance to chat about this week.

1) Last week we avoided the chance to become a social media expert for $30, but are thinking twice…
