She is an architect and an Institute professor and was recently named the 2022 Honorary Fellow of the Royal Architecture Institute of Canada. At Arizona State University\, she is the director and founder of the Indigenous Design Collaborative\, a community-driven design and construction program\, which brings together tribal community members\, industry and a multidisciplinary team of ASU students and faculty to co-design solutions for tribal communities. Dalla Costa was part of Unceded at the 2018 Venice Biennale where she joined 18 Indigenous architects from across Turtle Island to share an Indigenous vision of the future. Her firm\, Tawaw Architecture Collective (www.tawarc.com) is based in Phoenix. \n\n \nShundana Yusafشندانه یوسف is an Associate Professor of Architectural History and Theory at the School of Architecture\, Uni¬versity of Utah. Her scholarship juxtaposes colonial/ postcolonial history with sound studies in architecture\, framing each as a force of globalization. She is the author of Broadcasting Buildings: Architecture on the Wireless\, 1927-1945 (MIT Press\, 2014) and SAH Archipedia Utah (Virginia University Press\, 2019). She is currently completing the manuscript of her third book project: The Resonant Tomb: A Feminist History of Sufi Shrines in Pakistan. Together with Ole Fischer\, she is the founding editor of Dialectic: Journal of the School of Architecture\, University of Utah. \nShe is also the founding member of Nááts’ílid Initiative\, a Navajo Community Development Collaborative\, committed to strengthening the cultural and economic resilience of Dinétah through initiatives in the built environment. In 2021-2022\, she raised $10 million from federal agencies and private donors for Nááts’ílid. In 2023\, she will be a Clark fellow at Clark Art Institute in Williams College\, Massachusetts. \n\n \nNicholl Hubbell\, Assoc. IIDA\, WELL AP is a designer at Shepley Bulfinch. She is a member of the Diné (Navajo) tribe. Her goals as a designer are to create comfortable\, safe\, inclusive environments while positively impacting the health and wellness of the users. There are so many layers to reach the final design and the entire process is fascinating; learning new skills\, building relationships & building experiences drives her from project to project. She hopes to increase representation in the field because as indigenous people\, we are designers at heart. We have so much to offer the profession building off our unique experiences\, beautiful land\, beautiful people and beautiful cultures. \n\n \nLuis Cruz-Martinez\, AIA\, LEED AP was raised in the small town of Camuy in the Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico. In early 2000\, after earning his undergraduate degree in Environmental Design he moved his life from the island of Puerto Rico to the desert of Arizona and is proud of being a part of Phoenix’s thriving design community ever since. The journey began with as a pursuit of a Master of Architecture which has led to a lifetime development. Along the way he has been incredibly lucky\, crossing paths with extraordinary individuals who have pushed\, challenged\, and educated him\, shaping his craft and life in unparalleled ways. These mentors have had a great impact in developing his passion for coaching and encouraging the development of younger members of our community\, helping them achieve their maximum potential\, just as he was similarly shaped. \n\n \nChristopher Locke was raised by a hardworking and loving Jamaican family. He challenges the established practices of architecture as a black designer\, spatial advocate\, and filmmaker to create spaces for equitable and liberated change. He is the Co-founder of Designing in Color (DCo)\, an award-winning collective of architects and designers of culture. Designing in Color’s mission aims to diversify the way architecture is taught and practiced to amplify marginalized communities who’ve been historically silenced and erased throughout the design process. Working throughout the country\, DCo facilitates educational programming\, creates workshops\, designs socially responsible projects\, and distributes digital initiatives\, each meant to dismantle the systemic racism built into the practice of architecture. \nFull-time he is also currently a job captain at Steinberg Hart in LA. As a designer\, he has experience working on affordable housing\, workplace offices\, and educational services all uniquely created to its spaces equitable for its users. \nChristopher is also a member of SoCal NOMA where he is actively engaged in youth mentorship through the organization’s pipeline project summer camp. In 2017 Christopher co-founded small talks:LA\, a community-based project created to assemble a network of people and construct safe spaces to unify the disparate voices of Los Angeles. Operating as “pop-up” events\, this program is an opportunity for all members of a community to engage in dialogue about the current state of their environment and how to change it. With the creation of Designing in Color and small talks: LA\, he uses filmmaking as a method to study the current housing crisis across the city as a means of telling stories for narratives unknown. As a creative he believes that new processes that center black and brown voices as the expertise of design innovation can create a more just society that unbuilds racism and white supremacy in the built environment. \n\n \nRubin Quarcoopome loves a good story. From his childhood days in Ghana hearing his father’s tales of the mischievous Anansi to his adolescence in Detroit absorbing anime and movies and video game narratives\, the allure of riveting tale helps him understand and empathize with the world and its people. As an adult\, Rubin’s artistic work latched onto photography and digital painting. He relishes the exploration of the afrofuturist and the afrosurrealist\, finding exciting ways to make the ordinary weird\, and the weird ordinary. His work focuses on telling Black stories and opening doors and ways for others in the BIPOC community to thrive. His work in the architectural field responds to that same passion. He seeks opportunities to center communities and tell new stories\, all while having gained experience designing movie theaters\, office spaces\, and industrial facilities for major clients. \nRubin’s artistic and architectural work overlaps with his start-up\, Designing in Color\, an organization he co-founded with longtime colleagues meant to diversify the way architecture is taught and practiced. As the chief of design\, his various contributions have given vision to the concepts he and the team presented at Harvard University\, the AIA National Board\, and NOMA Conferences\, among many other workshops\, lectures\, and speaking engagements. \nHis work has been featured at the Bellevue Arts Museum and the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute\, as well as published in Blank Space’s Fairy Tale anthology\, Moevir Magazine\, and Vigour Magazine. \n

SUMMARY:Home Cooking Away From Home
DESCRIPTION:FREE event\nComplimentary dinner\, dessert\, and drinks\nNon-members\, students\, and future members welcome\nRSVP please so we know how much food to order\n\nFour years ago in the early years of our chapter we realized that the holiday season was missing a crucial element for some of our members that hail from other places — a family gathering. For those unable to be with their friends and family\, we decided to start a potluck-style casual gathering that we dubbed “home cooking away from home” consisting of our membership to fellowship with culturally familiar food and drink as a taste of home. \nThe event has evolved over the years and through COVID-19 to suit different needs – but we are thrilled to gather in person again this year at Steele Indian School Park under the ramada embracing the nice weather. Rather than potluck style – the main course will be catered HOWEVER we are asking our members to please bring a small dessert representative of their culture to share with the group if they would like. \nFriends are welcome! Please bring anyone you would like but be sure to RSVP so we know how much food to prepare. \n\nLocation details\nWe have reserved ramadas W1 and W2 near Lot A at the north west side near Bird Lake at Steele Indian School Park. \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Community Day of Service
DESCRIPTION:Community Day of Service: Mutual Aid PHX community fridge clean up/refill \nEach year our chapter participates in giving back to the local community. This year\, our chapter voted to focus on contributions to grassroots mutual aid efforts in the Central Phoenix Community. Now through December 17th we invite you and everyone you know to collect non-perishable foods/goods and monetary donations for perishables to be purchased on our day of service on December 17th. Our goal is to come together on Saturday December 17th where we will divide all who come into two groups. The items we’ve collected will be divided among the groups and we will set off to tidy up and refill the two local fridges located in the Encanto and Garfield neighborhoods. Should folks want to drop-off goods before December 17th\, Richard Kennedy is more than happy to collect and store in their office until December 17th. \n\nWhat: Mutual Aid PHX community fridge clean up/refill\nWhere: Richard Kennedy Architects is the collection site for our efforts. The two community fridges are located in the Phoenix Encanto and Garfield neighborhoods.\nWhen: Drop off donations now through December 17th at Richard Kennedy Architects. The day of actual service will be December 17th at 10am.\n\n\nAbout Mutual Aid PHX \n\nWe are an all-volunteer grassroots group operating in Phoenix\, AZ.\nWe are prioritizing folks who are sick\, disabled\, quarantined without pay\, elderly\, undocumented\, queer\, Black\, Indigenous\, and/or people of color — including those displaced from Phoenix to the nearby areas.\nWe know that there are enough material resources for everybody in the community. We facilitate the redistribution of resources and create connections to various resources and community-led organizations.\n\nWhat is mutual aid? (from the Mutual Aid PHX website) \n\nMutual aid is solidarity\, not charity. we believe that\, together\, we can build a more survivable system\, where we take the responsibility of caring for one another\, rather than relying on the state or its enforced individualism.\nMutual aid is voluntary exchange\, with the goal of redistributing resources within and between communities.\nWe know there is enough for everyone.\nWe keep each other safe.\n\n

SUMMARY:Coffee Talk # 7 - Debunking Myths: the Transition from Student to Professional
DESCRIPTION:This Month’s Topic: Debunking Myths: the Transition from Student to Professional\n\nFree event but please consider purchasing something from the café to support local minority owned business\nRSVP here\n\nWhether you’re looking for scholarships\, internships\, your first gig as an architectural designer\, or simply trying to ‘adult’ for the first time\, we’re here to debunk those myths you’ve heard and share some facts about the journey from student to professional. \nEvery other month join us for Coffee Talks – order a warm/iced beverage of your choice from rotating café locations around the valley\, get comfortable\, and bring your open mind to this productive discussion where NOMAarizona facilitators will ask the group questions and hold space to share\, listen\, and learn from each other in a casual setting. \nThis is intended to be a forum for discussion of ideas and for learning about differing viewpoints. In discussions around diversity and equity it is important to understand that everyone sees and experiences the world differently – what seems “right” in your experience may not be so in someone else’s. Everyone is asked to consider different perspectives\, for the purpose of sensitivity\, learning\, and growth. Members of NOMAarizona will typically be the facilitators for our discussions. We are not experts. We are simply here to help facilitate the process. We are here\, like everyone else\, to learn. \nIf you have a topic you’d like to chat about or a location to suggest – please submit to Jena Esquivel

SUMMARY:Coffee Talk # 8 - Rest & Invest
DESCRIPTION:This Month’s Topic: Rest & Invest – Learning to say no\, avoid burnout\, and invest in your wellbeing.\n\nRSVP so we know you’re coming!\nFree event but please consider purchasing something from the café to support local minority owned business\n\nInspired by NOMA National’s Immediate Past President\, Jason Pugh\, and his Quarterly President’s Challenge to support the EMPOWER pillar of the NOMA Presidential Platform\, we wanted to pause and take the time to address the idea that tirelessly championing for JEDI initiatives across the building and design industry is both physically and mentally taxing\, especially when its hard to see true measurable progress along the way. DEI fatigue is real for both the limited few minorities across the industry and our white colleagues\, partners\, and supporters who all champion for our cause. It is critically important we all take time in our busy professional lives to find a healthy work/life balance\, and also invest in both our physical and mental health in order to ensure we’re all able to continue fighting the good fight. \nThe challenge is to take time to create a healthy mindset and invest in your overall well-being. Let’s not only be mindful of our own mental health and daily stress points\, but also of other NOMA members\, leaders\, and DEI champions as well\, and step in aggressively with encouragement and support when we see others in need. \nThe intention is to not only expand the reach\, awareness\, and impact of minority architects\, but also equip them with the mental and physical tools to counteract the inevitable mental and physical fatigue that comes with tirelessly fighting for change in the building and design industry. \n“Small individual lifts can have a large collective impact.” ~ Jason Pugh \n———————— \nEvery other month join us for Coffee Talks – order a warm/iced beverage of your choice from rotating café locations around the valley\, get comfortable\, and bring your open mind to this productive discussion where NOMAarizona facilitators will ask the group questions and hold space to share\, listen\, and learn from each other in a casual setting. \nThis is intended to be a forum for discussion of ideas and for learning about differing viewpoints. In discussions around diversity and equity it is important to understand that everyone sees and experiences the world differently – what seems “right” in your experience may not be so in someone else’s. Everyone is asked to consider different perspectives\, for the purpose of sensitivity\, learning\, and growth. Members of NOMAarizona will typically be the facilitators for our discussions. We are not experts. We are simply here to help facilitate the process. We are here\, like everyone else\, to learn. \nIf you have a topic you’d like to chat about or a location to suggest – please submit to Jena Esquivel

SUMMARY:Tolleson City Hall Tour
DESCRIPTION:Free event\nOpen to public\nPlease RSVP here to secure your spot!\n\nJoin us for a tour of the Tolleson Civic Center\, led by the Project Designer\, John Tran\, designed by SmithGroup. Discovered through town hall meetings and charettes engaging the city’s diverse population\, the Tolleson Civic Center intentionally acts as the community’s front door and living room. Functionally\, it will serve as an administrative center\, housing the city’s main library and senior community center. Designed to optimize natural light without heat gain\, the building’s orientation and sloping roof provide practical solutions with positive aesthetic impacts. Surrounded by mountains\, the building seems to spring from the earth and makes best use of the passive resources.  \n———————————————- \nIf you would like to host a tour in the future\, please contact Pratima Tatikonda at pratimatatikonda@gmail.com
