October 10 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
Join AIA and ASLA on October 10 at the Independence Visitor Center for a special midday screening of Sitting Still with Laurie Olin – the acclaimed documentary portrait of one of America’s most celebrated landscape architects, whose own design for Independence Mall lies just steps outside the door.
The event runs from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM and unfolds in three parts: a welcome reception to open the morning, followed by a 90-minute screening of the film, and closing with a live fireside conversation between Laurie Olin and moderator Richard Roark, with time for audience Q&A. *Refreshments Provided
Set against the backdrop of America’s Semiquincentennial and DesignPhiladelphia 2026, this gathering will bring together landscape architects, designers, educators, and civic leaders to celebrate the power of public space – and the irreverent, humane vision behind some of America’s most beloved places.
