Damon Rich is a designer and artist, and serves as the Urban Designer and Waterfront Planner for the City of Newark, New Jersey. His design work has been exhibited internationally at venues including the Storefront for Art and Architecture and SculptureCenter in New York City, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, Netherlands Architecture Institute in Rotterdam, and the 2008 Venice Biennale.
In 1997, he founded the Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP), a New York City nonprofit organization that uses the power of design and art to improve the quality of public participation in urban planning and community design, where he was the Creative Director for 10 years. In 2007, he was a Loeb Fellow in Advanced Environmental Studies at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. His solo exhibition Red Lines Housing Crisis Learning Center was on view at the Queens Museum of Art May 31-September 27, 2009.
Rich will be speaking on the ways for design (including exhibitions, graphic design, and urban planning) to connect democratic politics, everyday life, and the built environment.

Again i wanna to add one more thing here that you are performing well in your blogs. Your new blog is more interesting than the old one. Keeping this in my mind i again come back here to find some more new interesting blogs from you.

I am really satisfied with this posting that you have given us. This is really a stupendous work done by you. Thanks
