From 2009-2013 HDL developed projects ranging from a two week academy for food entrepreneurs to a full city block, all with an eye towards redesigning the systems that govern our our common lives. Boyer will present a capsule history of HDL from start to finish, and along the way we'll discuss the unique challenges of taking design into the heart of government.</SPAN></P>
