  • Shawna and Chris will serve on the AIA Arizona Design Awards Jury

  • Rich Collins of The Times-Picayune and NOLA.com recently published an article exploring mass timber architecture and Atelier Mey’s ongoing interest in wood-based systems. The article highlights our work with wood and mass timber and our broader research into their potential for architecture in the Gulf South. LINK HERE

  • Atelier Mey’s House In A Garden was honored with the inaugural Mark Samuelian Resilience Award. As part of the award program, the committee recently published excerpts from past interviews and conversations about the project.

    From all of us at Atelier Mey, we want to thank everyone working to keep Mark’s legacy strong, meaningful, and productive—and to continue the work of building a more resilient community. LINK HERE

  • From Tulane University Innovation Institute CELT:

    Over four days, faculty participants from across Tulane University
    explored entrep    reneurship frameworks, teaching strategies, and practical resources they can bring directly into their classrooms and to their students.

    The institute was led by Eric Liguori, Jim Moran Professor and Associate Dean at Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship, whose expertise in entrepreneurship pedagogy helped faculty think creatively about integrating entrepreneurial skill sets across a wide range of disciplines.

    Participating schools included: Tulane University School of Liberal Arts, Tulane University - A.B. Freeman School of Business, Tulane School of Science and Engineering, Tulane University School of Architecture and Built Environment, Tulane University School of Medicine, Tulane University Celia Scott Weatherhead School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, Tulane University School of Professional Advancement, and Tulane University School of Social Work!

    As part of the program, faculty mem    bers developed plans to create or redesign syllabi for the 2026–2027 academic year and will continue this work through implementation in their courses.

  • American Building Spirit | Pioneering Architectures of Place

    Design is Optimism. It is the American building spirit—rooted in resourcefulness and innovation—that transforms constraint into possibility. Shaped by place and circumstance, architecture emerges from environmental, social, economic, and policy forces to carry cultural memory while projecting belief in what can be built. These works embed performance, ingenuity, and care within the built environment, offering architectures that respond not only to where we are, but to where we are going. We look for architecture in the proximity of culture to craft, in the energy of the environment, and in communities that actively produce placeness. By listening closely and observing carefully, architectural questions sharpen and reveal themselves. Each project participates in a broader discourse, contributing to shared knowledge while advancing design and construction practices beyond individual interventions. In this lineage, our work deliberately engages risk as a tool for progress—not as symbol or spectacle, but within the processes, policies, and material systems where meaningful change can occur.

  • For this subject, we aim to dive deeply into environmental resilience, emphasizing the interplay between urbanization and ecological preservation. We can probe into the ways that American cities are adopting sustainable construction techniques to mitigate climate change while also fortifying themselves against its inevitable impacts. With a focus on green infrastructure, sustainable energy solutions, and forward-thinking urban design, our discourse seeks to unveil how cities can strike a balance: fostering urban growth while simultaneously preserving and enhancing their natural environs. Through this subject, we hope to explore the strategies, challenges, and triumphs of cities championing an environmentally resilient future. https://my.ctbuh.org/s/lt-event?id=a1Y4v0000054VRPEA2#/Speakers
