Fun to see the first phases of the Bellingham Waterfront Shipping Container Village project come to life. BioDesign Studio was one of many community members involved as a volunteer in over 1.5 years of conceptual planning and project feasibility. Our services included conceptual master-planning, 3D/graphic renderings, community engagement and early permit feasibility/planning. Conceptual ideas don’t always become a reality - but this one is as real as it gets! Congrats to the and - super cool!

Wrapping up another quarter “at” UW. This quarter was particularly fun as we explored the entangled intersection between art, activism, and landscape architecture with eleven (daring and bold) UW BLA/MLA students. We spent the quarter adventuring outside the bounds of traditional landscape architecture, and what an adventure it was. Students - you are amazing, thank you for diving into this ambiguous world. Also,a big thank you to all the reviewers and presenters who contributed to this studio - you know who you are.

It’s a beautiful day to vote!

Not the easiest message to convey on a busy trail, but a little nature-based art on Sunday morning in fresh clean air and sunshine is good for the soul. Are you ready to vote? Double check your registration in your state - make sure everything is accurate and make a plan to vote.

Welcome back pollinators - we missed you! Once the sun popped out and the AQI dropped below 185, we noticed both bees and hummingbirds happily visiting flowers. Hopefully these important contributors to our ecosystem did not suffer too much over the last few days. We are saddened by the loss of life and thick smoke that has terrorized the West Coast. Wishing everyone the best as recovery and healing starts to begin.

Throwback to a few weeks ago when we wandered the mountains looking for wildflowers and high-altitude ferns in the fresh air - a privilege taken for granted in so many ways. The western fires are devastating and it’s been difficult to accept smoke-filled summers as the new norm for the past few years. If there are any positives, wildfires are a natural process and an opportunity for fertile soils and re-birth. As a community, we need to move faster towards reducing our footprint on the earth and let nature heal. Even simple steps help; only buy what you need, bike/walk when you can, plant native plants in your gardens, alleys, cities and towns, grow food to share, let go of individualist gain and VOTE. We must move forward together, it’s the only way.

The air is visibly cleaner in the forest. Always fight for more trees and healthy ecosystems.

To everyone whose work day also looks like this - let’s give each other extra grace and understanding in the upcoming months. As many know, being a working parent/guardian can already be challenging, but many people are now also facing a new reality of parenting, schooling, and working. I’ve noticed patterns of communication from both schools and sometimes employers/businesses that are trying to pretend this scenario doesn’t exist. But, it does and I’m hoping that the acknowledgement of this new reality can all help us grow together as a community.

book “So You Want to Talk a About Race” is really, really good. Read it, reflect on it, and let’s do the work to dismantle systemic racism in the design profession/education system, in our personal lives, and in the world.

This popped up in our newsfeed this morning and made us chuckle and nod our heads in agreement. Happy Monday everyone.

Are you registered to vote and if so, is your information accurate? Yes, we are a few months away from November elections, but it never hurts to make sure you are ready! If you are asking yourself, why does a landscape architecture and urban design firm care if you vote? Our industry is heavily influenced by environmental regulations, social policies, and is deeply passionate about equality. Elections can significantly influence design for everyone! So, don’t wait!

An important part of understanding cities and systemic racism is to learn about their zoning histories. When working as a research assistant in graduate school at the UW studying live and dead carbon stock (aka trees), during our field surveys in Seattle it was noticeable the difference in dbh (diameter breast height/size of the tree) between neighborhoods that seemed historically wealthy vs. neighborhoods with smaller homes and less access to public infrastructure such as parks. At the time, redlining was not a familiar term, and it’s been great to see more research and awareness happening around this racist practice. Street trees and green spaces are vital to human and ecological health yet and ecological equity . It’s clear that even though redlining is no longer a legal practice, the lasting effects of these racist urban practices are still seen today and the distribution of further green infrastructure in cities is often still associated with wealth. Articles like this are a good reminder that if we are ever going to try to heal some of the inequities caused by systemic racism, we must keep fighting for equal access to green infrastructure.
