Sharing some landmarks from our Dawson City visit! Here is Ëdhä dädhëchą (Moosehide Slide), a designated historic site and natural and cultural landscape located in Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Traditional Territory. It is one of the most iconic natural features of the Yukon. For the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in it signified the arrival to their fishing grounds and a coming together of families following winter travels; for gold seekers it signified their arrival into the Klondike; and today it signifies a connection to place for all residents of the region.

Giaimo, M.R. Letourneau, and Narratives, have been engaged by the City of Dawson to revise the Heritage Management Plan (HMP) and Heritage Bylaw (HB). Dawson City, recognized as one of the eight heritage locations in the Tr’ondëk-Klondike World Heritage site, was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023.

It’s that time of year: end of the semester design crits! Wonderful to see so many student projects focused on adaptive reuse at . Joey Giaimo, Ria Al-Ameen, and Mitchell May have been attending various studios as guest crits

This month we had the pleasure of attending the joint and conference in Montreal. From presenting our ongoing research on large-scale demolition and high carbon sites in Toronto and learning from sessions on the intersections of social justice, climate action, and heritage, to attending CAHP Board meetings and the .canada workshop, our team (Mitchell May, Ria Al-Ameen, Stephanie Mah, and Sara Shemirani) were kept busy. Amazing to connect with so many people doing inspiring work across North America; a huge thank you to all the organizers that made this conference possible!
