We are thrilled to see the six visionary designs for the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, a place that holds deep meaning for all of us at BNIM—as design practitioners, members of the arts community, and Kansas Citians. For the past 25 years, it has been an honor to help steward and support the Museum’s vision for transformation, growth, and positive impact in the Kansas City arts community. We are excited to see this future expansion continue its enduring legacy, inspiring future generations of art exploration and community connections.

What if buildings didn’t just use fewer resources — but actually made the world better? That’s the promise of regenerative design, and it's at the heart of the work we do at BNIM. It was an honor to join this conversation with Tabitha A. Scott, CEM, CDSM, CHTP, Kathleen Hetrick, and Matthew VanSweden, LFA, WELL AP — a brilliant group of minds — in the latest article by Jim Schneider, LEED AP with retrofit. We’re moving beyond reducing harm to designing for positive impact: more clean energy, healthier air and water, and stronger ecosystems and communities. Grateful to be part of this story. ?? https://lnkd.in/gQTu9U_d How are you seeing this mindset shift show up in your work — whether in design, policy, business, or community? Any examples of regenerative thinking from outside the built environment? I’d love to hear. #RegenerativeDesign #Architecture #ClimateAction #GreenBuilding #BNIM #SystemsThinking

What a Website Does Matters as Much as How it Looks Our practice embraces the understanding that what design does – how it engages people, implements high-performance solutions, and positively impacts communities — matters as much as how it looks. This is an integral part of what we do at BNIM. As we re-imagined BNIM’s new website experience, this same guiding concept held true. Our team envisioned and crafted an online presence for BNIM that is as highly functional, intuitive, and comprehensive as it is inspiring and beautifully designed. We’re thrilled to share our new website with you! Explore it now at bnim.com! Meet the Team: Beena Ramaswami, Project Lead Mallory Fergason, Design Lead? Kate Kovarik, Content Lead?

Here is a Regulatory Tracker for those who want clearer answers than the panic-fest in the headlines are providing this week: https://lnkd.in/gsFkjArY
