A Decolonizing Design Case Study - Riverside Road

A collaboration between Prospect & Refuge Landscape Architects, Modern Formline Design, and Ron Hart Architecture. We are exploring how decolonization influences the design process, and how the new approach addresses social and environmental challenges such as local climate conditions and community health. 

This is an applied-research case study of a new supportive housing site for BC Housing on Matsqui and Sumas First Nations. Research methodology includes interviews, workshops, and theoretical research. 

The outcome will be an illustrated article and virtual presentation, targeting designers and clients who seek inclusive, equitable, and creative approaches to design. LACF will be recognized.
