This award-winning design transports visitors to the environments of the Akimel O'odham, Navajo, Yupik, and Seneca nations. The art and storytelling in this intimate 360-degree immersive space showcase the tribal members' perspectives, including authors, artists, curators, linguists, and cultural advisors.”

It's often the design story that elevates our designs to win awards. Our design concept ‘The City of Trees’ was an important part of the design process; we gave the theater an identity that related back to its community. Every design decision stemmed from the concept and led us through construction."
