Designing a Vision for a City: Peter Brown at TEDxSMU

Описание: Architect Peter Brown works on big ideas for large and small projects. He is principal of Peter Brown Architects, a design and strategy firm that collaborates with clients to transform the way people work, live, learn, create, and enjoy.

At any given time you might find Peter in Florida, creating a middle school that moves as fast as students think. Or in Germany, designing a chair that moves with your body. In Dallas, he may be on his way to meet with a fashion retailer to discuss innovation and collaboration in the creative workplace.

If you live in Oak Cliff, your child could attend Hector Garcia Middle School where every classroom overlooks the entire city of Dallas. If you are an expat in Beijing, your kids likely attend a school that Peter has had a hand in creating. And if you happen to
live in a residence designed by Peter, you'll enjoy waking up from a Sunday nap with soft sunlight dancing across the room.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
