Decarbonizing Case Studies
Breakout 4: 3:10–4:10 p.m.

Daniel J. Glenn, AIA, AICAE, NCARB, will present four case studies on tribal lands in the Pacific Northwest, including the Place of Hidden Waters, a LEED for Homes Platinum housing community for the Puyallup Tribe, Stillaguamish Village in Arlington, WA, a 2030 Challenge mixed-use development, the Muckleshoot Clean and Sober Housing Community, funded by the Indian Housing Block Grant – American Rescue Plan, and the Dat-naa-svt Village Project for the Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation in Smith River, California. Each of these projects provide affordable, low-energy housing that reflect and celebrate the tribal cultures of the residents. Both the Stillaguamish and Tolowa projects are on reclaimed Indigenous land on the tribes traditional territory, decolonizing those sites for their original inhabitants. Participants will learn about the interconnections between climate and culture as well as community engagement design processes.
