Exhibition at University of Washington College of Built Environments

January 10–27, 2022

The work of the Autumn 2022 CBE McKinley Futures interdisciplinary studio was on display in this exhibit. The studio collaborated with the Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe on the Pacific coast to help them plan and design an upland expansion in response to climate change-driven sea level rise and other threats to coastal ecosystems and habitation, such as changing patterns of erosion and sedimentation, co-seismic subsidence and tsunami hazards.

The exhibit showcased an array of culturally appropriate and technologically innovative strategies that advance the Tribe’s existing planning priorities –e.g., resilient green buildings, green infrastructure, edible trails, food sovereignty, and health & well-being -to reassert long-term cultural identification with place.
