Engaging Time and Tradition: Indigenous Design with Architect Wanda Dalla Costa
Event Description

Parsons Healthy Materials Lab welcomes Wanda Dalla Costa, a member of the Saddle Lake Cree Nation and a practicing architect and educator, on her design methodologies incorporating Indigenous generational knowledge. With every project, she asks: How can we localize design for the immediate ecology? Can design be a collaborative community action? 

Co-designing with North American Indigenous groups for nearly twenty years, Dalla Costa will speak on Indigenous place-keeping, culturally sensitive design, urbanism, and climate resilience.

Parsons Healthy Materials Lab is a design research lab at Parsons School of Design dedicated to placing people’s health at the center of all design decisions. The lab raises awareness about toxics in building products and creates resources for designers and architects to make healthier places for all people to live. The lab strives to make all affordable housing healthy.
