The Hitchcock Center has been invited to be part of the Peabody Essex Museum’s (PEM) exciting new Wild Designs exhibit that will profile the works of architects, artists, institutions and other creatives who are looking to nature and living systems for new ideas and creative solutions to human problems.

Opening May 26, 2018, Wild Designs will feature 24 projects and prototypes conceived by innovators who look to nature and living systems for new ideas and creative solutions to human problems. The exhibition includes mixed media sculptures, artist installations and drawings, as well as design projects ranging from preliminary concepts to realized products and buildings, including the Hitchcock Center’s recently constructed environmental learning center designed to meet the highest standard of sustainable development in the built environment through the Living Building Challenge™.

Hitchcock Center staff will offer Nature’s Design Lab, a “hands-on, minds-on” participatory space for visitors to explore nature’s genius. The Lab will integrate natural history objects, close observations of nature, design-making, games and activities to illustrate and illuminate what nature can teach us about invention.
