Four days and counting! We are excited to support the Design With Nature Now Symposium at The McHarg Center. When we think about Rising Waters, we think of our partnership with Metro Parks Tacoma to create a long term vision for their waterfront in Washington State. This project addressed specific sea level rise issues while prioritizing community values and storytelling. Community outreach was intentionally wide and prioritized — Salishan Night Out, the Tacoma Urban League at First Creek Middle School, Bryant Middle School, the Tacoma Community Boat Builders, and the Tacoma Urban League Sisterhood in the City program. 📷: @metroparkstacoma

We unveiled the “SkyPark” design concept at the Uber Elevate Summit in Washington D.C. today. This Los Angeles design focuses on the greater community, incorporating transit connectivity, sustainable performance and neighborhood placemaking with an expansive public amenity at ground level. With a 2023 commercial launch target, Uber Air Skyport Mobility Hubs will accommodate pedestrians along with aircraft operations (known as electric vertical take-off and landing, or “eVTOL” vehicles), electric bikes and scooters, EV charging infrastructure and connection to public transit. https://player.vimeo.com/video/341867831 #UberElevate #DesignforPositiveChange

Uber recently invited a handful of leading design teams to advance their global vision for a multi-modal future unifying ground and air mobility. Unveiled at the Uber Elevate Summit in Washington D.C. today, our “SkyPark” design concept for Los Angeles focuses on the greater community, incorporating transit connectivity, sustainable performance and neighborhood placemaking with an expansive public amenity at ground level. The design leverages pre-fabricated parts to support eVTOL aircraft take off, landing and turntable parking as well as spaces for multi-modal transit users and more than two acres of community park.

We had a blast this week at Louisiana Children’s Museum for the #AAM2019 workshop and opening event. Great few days touring the new campus with museum director Julia Bland, conference attendees and friends including Eric Nelson of @nordicmuseum and Cecilia Kjellgren, Swedish Honorary Consul in New Orleans. Can’t wait for opening day this fall! 📷: Julia Bland, Michael Fiegenschuh
