MILES ARCHITECTURE’s Post

I'm starting the year off right by launching a 2 hour 15 minute response video to the city council of Cedar Rapids downtown development plan. In the video I address the ongoing bias in development research by the city and its affiliates - bias that is resulting in unequal outcomes that push low-income earners out of neighborhoods and into poorly constructed mass housing. I also highlight some examples of downtown development from Denver including some kitchy art installed in the Dairy Block, a city/private development initiative in the same vein. If you're interested in city development, arts council work, diversity, equity, and inclusion, you'll likely be interested in this. #citydevelopment #cedarrapidsiowa #cedarrapids #publicart #publicprivatepartnerships #publicspace #publicspaces https://lnkd.in/gCbejFVU

Spot the difference! Can you tell which photo was taken 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 and which one is 𝐍𝐨𝐰? 😉 The building may not look too different now than it did back then, but the evolution of RiverSide has been much more significant! It's amazing to think how far we've come since those early days! We may have gotten a bit bigger, changed locations and even our name, but the RiverSide spirit remains the same!

This looks like a really interesting event! I'm so curious about the role interior lighting plays in bird collisions! For buildings with 24 hour occupancy where we can't turn the lights off at night, what can we do to help? During the day, should we be increasing the light at the perimeter of buildings to reduce reflections? #birdsafebuildings #lightingdesign #sustainability

Check out this interesting event on creating architecture and lighting that is safe for bird migration!

Globally and now within Australia, there is an increased priority of wellbeing and social outcomes as the ultimate goal for organisations (not just profit and GDP). Australia launched a national wellbeing framework. Australian Unity negotiated a $50 million loan tied to the organisations ability to deliver community and social value. Social impact assessments and investment in community benefits are either mandatory or standard practice for most NSW State Significant projects. In some cases it's innovative, in others it is just the first step, but nonetheless the focus and investment is shifting towards improving wellbeing of communities and the environment.   Since joining bd infrastructure's Engagement and Social Impact team late last year, I've had many intricate discussions and jumped down a few rabbit holes about what this focus on impact means for community and stakeholder engagement practices. We're no longer purely communicating to or consulting with people, we are listening, responding, co-creating. So, how do engagement and social impact influence each other? An what does a wellbeing era mean for engagement?   Stephanie Potter and I will be discussing this question at the #communityengagement summit 2024 next Thursday 22 Feb. Please come along and join the conversation. And it is beachside in Manly, so bring your bathers for a lunch time dip.
