WASLA

In honor of Indigenous People's Day, the CBE Diversity Council is presenting an exhibit that offers a space for reflection and dialogue about Native American culture and community in Gould Gallery. The installation will screen the Burke Museum's "On Our Terms" video project grounded in story telling of commonly used DEAI terms like decolonization, consultation, and healing. What does decolonization look like? How has cultural erasure impacted your life? Where is the line between celebration and appropriation? Through personal stories and unique perspectives, these videos present a nuanced collage of how people understand these words. We invite visitors to reflect on their own definitions by engaging in an interactive art installation. Exhibit info: Acknowledging the Land We Stand On Monday, Oct 14 –Thursday, Nov 14, 2024 10 am – 5 pm | Gould Gallery *Closed November 11 https://lnkd.in/g2fRZtzd #Architecture #ConstructionManagement #LandscapeArchitecture #RealEstate #UrbanDesignAndPlanning #CBE #BuiltEnvironments #CollegeOfBuiltEnvironments #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Mark your calendar! 📅 We are thrilled to join the Office of the Waterfront and Civic Projects in sharing that Overlook Walk will be opening to the public next Friday, October 4 at 4:30 - 7 p.m.! 🎉 Located where the Alaskan Way Viaduct once stood, this new elevated park will provide a direct pedestrian connection between Pike Place Market, Downtown, and the entire 20-acre Waterfront Park. 🌊🚶♂️ Overlook Walk is perfect for sightseeing with its elevated panoramic views, has ample space to relax with seating, landscaping and a covered area under a canopy, and even has a short slide and climbing wall for children to play. Its incredible 360-degree views out to Elliott Bay and Seattle’s Downtown skyline are certain to make it one of Seattle’s most visited and treasured locations.

Thanks to everyone who spent time with NUSSBAUM GROUP at the WASLA annual conference in Spokane last week. It was great to have discussions about the bright future of landscape architecture with students and faculty from Washington State University and University of Washington as well as many landscape architects and industry professionals from around the state. We enjoyed sharing what #collaboration means to us while also learning more about what is current in the profession as we all seek to improve our work and make it more relevant. #LandscapeArchitecture #LandscapeConstruction #LandscapeIndustry #EmployeeOwned
