Happy #EarthDay! At Ravenswood Studio, we prioritize building with the environment in mind. We are committed to enhancing our green initiatives by improving our material-use efficiency and reducing our energy consumption. As part of these efforts, we have installed over 600 solar panels on our roof. This is just a small part of our commitment to treading lightly on the planet.

“It is the small, everyday things that are most evocative: a rotary telephone, a Pyrex baking dish, an old hand mixer and furniture that looks well lived in.” The Washington Post’s Philip Kennicott reviews the new National Public Housing Museum, where everyday objects help fight “a heroic battle against misinformation, amnesia and bad history.” https://wapo.st/4cDJqA5

The first of seven playspaces is now open with the Santa Clara County Library District (SCCLD)! Each playspace draws on research and local input and reflects its branch neighborhood's unique cultural and natural identity. Children can connect with their community through activities highlighting Santa Clara’s distinctive features. Areas for active, movement-based play complement quieter, contemplative zones, all built to foster a sense of wonder and connection.

This week is #NationalLibraryWeek! Libraries need our support now more than ever. If you are in Spokane, Washington, check out one of the six playspaces we fabricated for the Spokane Public Library System. Each playspace is regionally themed, with native animals, landscapes, and legends connecting them all. Check out a book, explore the maker labs, and hang with Sasquatch!

It has been such a difficult few months as we watch history being challenged and erased. It’s hard not to feel somewhat hopeless. Yet, I keep doing what I can by contacting representatives and advocating for a better tomorrow—for future generations. Participating in the creation of the In Slavery's Wake traveling exhibition during a time of widespread misinformation demonstrates our power as museum designers, developers, and builders. We have a voice—a means of interpretation and collective action to educate and inform a hopeful future. History is a powerful tool; if we preserve it through storytelling and the development of authentic experiences, we can continue to uphold our values and make meaningful progress and change. Don’t let the noise bring you down. Ravenswood Studio, Inc. #BeTheChange #MuseumsAreNotNeutral #ExhibitFabrication #ExhibitDesign
