Between Two Rivers and a Creek: exploring our kinship to the blue world

  • The Discovery Center 3401 Reservoir Drive Philadelphia, PA, 19121 United States (map)

From the Delaware to the Schuylkill, from the Schuylkill to Cobbs Creek, Philadelphia is blessed with an extraordinarily watery location. The city’s very existence is predicated on access to drinking water, food, and commerce.

Water is life, representing 80-90% of plant biomass and 75% of our own body. Research indicates that natural water sounds are the most effective in attracting our attention, reducing our heart rate, and restoring cognition, memory recall, and creative thought.

Explore the public health imperative of designing with water and leaning into our deep evolutionary connection to water as a precursor to stewardship of our waterways on behalf of those living alongside, within, and flying above.

Join us at 5 for light refreshments and networking with our partner organizations before the presentation!
