We are so honored and excited to officially announce our Round 2 projects! In order of appearance: 1. Green Pastures - In cooperation with local stakeholders, preservation groups, and Douthat State Park, the project will introduce an interpretive trail and a staged reading to showcase the rich heritage and stories associated with Green Pastures. This recreational area holds significant cultural importance as a recreational haven for African Americans during an era of segregation. 2. 23/54 - In 1947, 23 Black parents and 54 children challenged racial discrimination in the court case Corbin v. County School Board of Pulaski County, Virginia. Inspired by this story, the Calfee Community and Cultural Center (CCCC) aims to research and tell the stories of brave Black parents in Southwest Virginia, their ancestors and descendants through oral history interviews, archival research, a traveling exhibit, and a community-created quilt. 3. Yesáh Community House - The Monacan Nation Cultural Foundation will be building a modern-day long house that will serve as a physical monument of the Monacan people in Virginia. It will be constructed on the Monacan pow wow grounds in Monroe, VA and will become the permanent home of this annual event. 4. Labor in Motion - The Town of Pound, VA and Appalachian Voices will be partnering in creating an amphitheater and decorative retaining wall. The amphitheater will be transformed into the town's first performance venue for town events and storytelling events chosen by town residents. (See rendering of the Community Design Assistance Center (CDAC) above. Neither rendering nor location have been finalized.) 5. Raising the Shade - More than 180,000 African American soldiers made significant contributions in the American Civil War, however, only a handful of monuments to these men exist. The Franklin County NAACP aims to share these stories and more at various community events over the next year, as well as dedicating a monument to these soldiers.

CRG's Vice President of Design and Development, Alison Mills, spoke with Multi-Housing News to discuss the important role color plays in shaping a development's character and appeal. Chapter at #Madison is a prime example of how thoughtful color choices can enhance the #studenthousing experience. The art of choosing the right colors extends beyond aesthetics. It's about understanding the audience, the property's context, and the longevity of design choices. Chapter at Madison excels in blending school spirit with sophisticated design, ensuring our student housing is stylish and resonant with academic pride.

"For Sno-Isle Libraries' reimagined Edmonds Library, we designed and constructed a floor-to-ceiling installation with 3,220 holes lit by individual LED lights, similar to a giant Lite-Brite toy. JA Design Technologist and Associate Shane Leaman designed custom circuit boards to connect the 1,088 magnetic sensors behind the board, which sense when acrylic pegs embedded with a small magnet are inserted into the lower holes. When these pegs are inserted into the wall, the program responds using those LED lights in a myriad of ways." - Jack Chaffin, JA Partner https://lnkd.in/gcJp4uY8 #librarydesign #libraryarchitecture #libraryscience #libraryprogramming #librarians #childrenslibrary #earlyliteracy #welovelibraries #earlylearning #kidslibrary #digitalintegration #activeplayelement #activelearning #snoislelibraries #edmondslibrary #washingtonlibraries #communitylibrary #publiclibrary #libraryremodel #libraryrenovation #libraryupgrade

Preserve Summerhall as a Cultural Hub in Edinburgh! Please sign this petition to protect Edinburgh's cultural heritage and preserve spaces like Summerhall for future generations. The potential sale of Summerhall, a vital cultural institution in the city, is deeply concerning. To the petition: https://chng.it/F88BGtwb6k Since its transformation from the Royal School of Veterinary Studies in 2011, Summerhall has been a thriving multi-arts venue, hosting over 110 companies, galleries, studios, and community spaces, such as the Artiscience Library, which international Bioartist Oron Catts, University of Western Australia, called "a unique treasure-house of inspiration”. To convert Summerhall into apartments or student flats would not only strip away a crucial cultural asset but also diminish the unique character of the community. We urge to explore alternative solutions that preserve Summerhall's role as a hub for creativity, innovation, and community engagement. Whether through community ownership, partnerships with cultural organizations, or other innovative approaches, there are viable alternatives that can ensure Summerhall's continued success. #art #innovation #creativity #galleries #studios #communityengagement #communityspace #culturalinstitute #STEAM #libraries #artiscience

Helping people get more from technology. Always on the lookout for interesting people to have a coffee with.
I've known John V Willshire for over a decade, having first met at Silicon Beach in Bournemouth in 2013. He's one of the most fascinating thinkers I know. This is his latest talk. In it, he explores why design is not a superpower, how information is like light, not liquid, how you need to show people the system to help them change it, and how he has gone about rewilding his entire neighbourhood. It's a highly recommended 30 minutes. https://lnkd.in/eZ5NWJvM
