For Native American Month, we spotlight Black and Indigenous architect Horace King. Also a bridge builder, engineer, and even state legislator, King was affectionately known as the “Prince of Bridge Builders.” He built dozens of bridges during the 19th century in the Deep South, constructing the biggest ones in states like Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi during that time.

Born into enslavement and with African American and Catawba nation ancestry, King was taught to read, write, and build, by one of his enslavers. By King’s teenage years, he became a proficient carpenter and mechanic. After working for his enslaver as a bridge engineer, King eventually bought his way to freedom and constructed the Columbus City bridge, Eufala Bridge, and the bridge on Tallaposa River. He was also the structural architect for the Alabama State Capital and designed a free-floating staircase using bridge-building techniques so that it wouldn’t require central support.

*The colors in the graphics during this Native Heritage series pay ode to the Piscataway people and their land, where our Washington D.C. is based.*

We hope many of you enjoy time off to rest and be

We hope many of you enjoy time off to rest and be with your families to break bread, eat ham, turkey, or even tofu-rkey. At MOYA, our team members exchanged ‘Thank You’ notes. These moments of gratitude, however small, are a great way to appreciate one another.

We encourage people to take some time to learn about this holiday's history and the native land they are on by using websites like native-land.ca. Our Washington D.C offices are located on the land of the Piscataway peoples.

For those celebrating today, take it in as a day to say thanks and to give. As a day to express gratitude. As well as a day to give your time by volunteering at homeless shelters, or to give food or clothing to your local in-need, community organizations.

@moyadesignpartners and @LidaRippe announce that the new Consulate of Guatemala with interior design work by MOYA is officially open! The recently renovated building of approximately 7,770 square feet is located in the city of Rockville.

The consulate is a two-year project in the making. In 2020, Lida Rippe and her team initiated site research with MOYA consulting along the way. For the design process, MOYA conducted a comprehensive study to create a cohesive space for the public and the consulate staff. Various desk stations were carefully planned to provide the best circulation flow for visitors and prevent overflow or obstruction. There are specific areas for employees to rest and congregate. This consideration is critical during long work days due to elections.

We know immigrant families are yearning to finally reconnect with loved ones in their home countries since the pandemic began. As well as people who are passport-ready to go out and explore. We welcome you to visit the new Consulate of Guatemala at 979 Rollins Ave in Rockville, MD- minutes away from Pike & Rose and North Bethesda.

Our team had a private Pedro Reyes studio tour during our time in Mexico. Born and based in Mexico City, Reyes uses a mixture of sculpture, architecture, video, performance, and audience participation. Through his work, Reyes explores the power of individual and collective organization to incite change through communication, creativity, happiness, and humor.

Thank you so much, @_pedro_reyes_, for having us over and showing us some of your works in progress! This was truly a unique and inspirational opportunity.
