This 1-hour participatory design symposium will explore our sense of belonging. Like water freezing into ice or dissolving into a larger body, it can change. Communities ebb and flow, individuals adapt.

The session will consider how the built environment can support positive, reversible changes - spaces that are adaptable, welcoming to flux, and can 'melt' away barriers or 'mix' different people together. Designers, architects, students, and community members are invited to join, share ideas, and reflect on how design can foster a community-rooted sense of lasting belonging.
