Step into a story-driven exhibition from Thrive by Design, where architecture becomes a vessel for empathy, trust, and civic legacy. Through immersive installations and collaborative exercises, “Designing Trust” invites Philadelphians to reflect on how design can nurture belonging—especially when it’s rooted in transparency and community care.
Begin with Thrive’s signature approach to accessibility: a visual dialogue around income-tiered pricing, civic mission, and the belief that good design should serve every household. This anchor sets the stage for honest connection and shared values.
Explore the grammar of sanctuary through interactive visuals, tactile storytelling, and co-creation. Visitors will contribute to a living “Pattern Wall,” a collective artwork that honors both personal memory and architectural resonance—drawing inspiration from thought leaders and the everyday poetry of Philly’s neighborhoods.
