West Potter's Field Recognition Design Charrette: The Legacy Project
Initiated by NOMA 15 years ago, the Legacy Project allows conference attendees to contribute meaningfully to the host city by leaving a lasting impact. This year, in partnership with the Baltimore NOMA chapter, attendees will participate in a community-focused design charrette at the new South Baltimore Middle River Recreation Center. The charrette will center on West Potter's Field—a former burial site in Cherry Hill, historically used for unknown or indigent individuals. Through this collaborative effort, participants will explore and conceptualize a memorial to honor the site's history and the lives of those interred. Our local chapter looks forward to continuing our engagement well beyond Conference!
