Featured in ArchiExpo, Sedgwick Hall at Rockhurst University, designed by clients Helix Architecture + Design and CO Architects, blends its historic character with cutting-edge features to meet the needs of a modern health sciences curriculum. Part of honoring the building’s heritage was balancing the new with the old by revealing the character and materiality of the existing building and structure. Concrete columns and structural slabs are left exposed, as well as the terracotta-tile formwork system used for the concrete joists. In the historic entryway, decorative mosaic tile flooring was preserved, and intricate crown molding was exactingly recreated to emphasize the building’s history.

How can we amplify indigenous design? Metropolis Magazine uses First Americans Museum (FAM) as an example of honoring First Nations people and blending Native traditions with modern design to rethink the "American Southwest." Designed by Johnson Fain, FAM honors the 39 tribes in Oklahoma today by educating the public about the cultures and history of these First American Nations. The 90-foot-high, 1,000-foot-diameter, grass-covered FAM Mound was created with 50,000 truckloads of nearby river basin soil. The mound in part reflects a circular view of nature encompassing the cycle of life, the seasons, and the rotation of the earth.
