Doors Open Baltimore

On October 6 & 7, the Baltimore Architecture Foundation, in partnership with AIA Baltimore, will present the fifth annual Doors Open Baltimore—a free citywide celebration of Baltimore’s architecture and neighborhoods. Over 60 buildings across the city will be open to explore as open houses and over 30 free guided tours and activities will be available. NOMA will hold a table with interactive maps and a special event activity. NOMAS is currently designing a deconstructed model using a special kit of parts giving participants the design challenge of “how do you solve the vacant blocks in Baltimore city.” Essentially, it will be the Sims in real life! The table will have 2 maps: one capturing the age group per location in Baltimore where they came from, the other with icons and symbols to place what is missing in their neighborhood on the map. This will be a big event, so join the committee now to see how you can help!
