Only ONE week left to enjoy the exhibit "Design for Youth: Equity and Opportunity"!

Organized by Julia Robinson, Ph.D., FAIA, "Design for Youth: Equity and Opportunity" explores the design of equitable and nurturing rehabilitation environments for youth and families, replacing outdated ideas about youth detention. The exhibition fosters a greater understanding of housing issues that help prevent ongoing youth incarceration from various perspectives such as location, staff versus resident spaces, sleeping spaces, hygiene, eating, and relaxing.

Design for Youth: Equity and Opportunity was curated in cooperation with research assistants and UMN students who took part in a 3-year course series focused on expanding youth opportunities. GMD is delighted to be a venue for this important exploration of youth detention and rehabilitation, which was developed with Professor Robinson’s “programming as design” approach. Come join us!
