FALL WORKS-IN-PROGRESS STUDENT PROJECT PRESENTATIONS 11/13-14

This fall term, Conway’s Class of 2027 is working on individual ecological design projects in nearby communities. They will present conceptual designs and recommendations grounded in the process of site analysis. The design solutions strive to fit the needs of the clients to the specific ecology of the site while upholding the school’s mission. We invite a panel of outside reviewers, whose comments will help guide revisions the students will make over the final weeks of the term. We welcome prospective students, prospective clients, alums, and anyone else interested in learning about the Conway School to attend. There are two ways to join us: You can attend remotely by Zoom, or in person at the school in Northampton. RSVP here>>
