The Lake Superior Design Retreat is an annual, winter weekend extravaganza in Duluth, Minnesota. Since its inception over 30 years ago, LSDR is an interdisciplinary and rejuvenating event that explores design ideas and creative processes that push boundaries in the worlds of architecture, planning, engineering, literature, craft, dance, music, the fine arts, the environment, and more. Come for inspiration, unexpected synergies, and commaraderie.
