Dear Conway Alums and Friends,

At their best, designers observe and create patterns of relationships, processes, change, and interconnections. The recent patterns of happenings with the Conway School—a few of which are headlined here—show how much our world is expanding. We are finding more ways to be of service and more places to apply ecological design and planning. We are receiving more reports of important work being done by alums. And we are finding more overlap among these connections, all of which help create something much greater than the sum of its parts. (Watch for con’text 2015 and more news.)

Here is a sampling of the pieces; can you detect the patterns?
