Fishbowl #25: Alec Johnson

Join MKM architecture + design for a conversation with Alec Johnson, Redevelopment Director with the City of Fort Wayne.

The Fishbowl is MKM's signature community event — an afternoon where we shut down the office, set up chairs, pour some wine, and sit down with someone interesting to talk about what they do, why they do it, and what keeps them up at night.

About Alec:

Alec Johnson is a licensed landscape architect and currently serves as the Redevelopment Director for the City of Fort Wayne. Prior to this position, he was the City Landscape Architect, and the Deputy Director of Planning and Development for the Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Department.

While Alec’s professional career has been defined primarily by his work with the Fort Wayne Parks Department, he is also a musician, composer, creative technologist, naturalist, and dance troupe collaborator.

In those pursuits, and his work as a landscape architect, the primary motivator is story-telling. That is, attempting to make visible the underlying emotional, cultural, social, and inter-personal systems that connect all of us.

What to Expect:

The format is conversational, not lecture-based. Our moderator will lead a one-hour interview with Alec, followed by open Q&A where attendees can ask their own questions. Topics range broadly — from healthcare and housing to the arts, technology, and community development — but all center on innovations in community health and well-being.

Schedule:

• 3:30 PM — Doors open, light refreshments & networking
• 3:45 PM — Moderated conversation begins
• 5:00 PM — Event ends

Light refreshments and beverages will be provided. Seating is limited to create an engaging, personal atmosphere.

It's part salon, part TED talk, and entirely Fort Wayne.

Free to attend. RSVP required.
