Violence and racism against Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) are deeply entrenched in the history of the United States.  We stand with our staff in denouncing the recent string of murders and attacks, the latest manifestation of the longstanding history of violence and hate against Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI). 

As a firm dedicated to promoting a deep sense of community within our work, Mahlum was humbled by the vision for transformation brought to us by our client for the Our Home – Cathedral Park cohousing community, and are honored to be collaborating with Our Home Inclusive Community Collaborative (ICC) on this project.

Following the historic 1997 Kyoto Protocol, and the growing understanding of the role that the built environment has on global warming, Mahlum began in earnest to incorporate sustainable strategies into our work.

As a partnered program of the 2020 Seattle Design Festival, Listen Now is a project that engages family, friends and neighbors by gathering their personal stories about times when they truly felt connected with someone who was different from themselves.

We can no longer remain silent. Our communities are suffering. The killing of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Manuel Ellis and the endless acts of racism and injustice in our society remind us of how far we are from realizing a world where each of us is able to feel safe in our communities – free of fear, discrimination, and oppression.

Nobody can predict with certainty what the future will bring, but the COVID-19 crisis will undoubtedly change the way the built environment is designed. As architects and designers, we have the responsibility to shape that future in ways that protect the health, safety and welfare of our communities and the world at large.

Mahlum is thrilled to announce the AIA has recognized the talents of two of our own.
