Passive House Podcast cohost Zack Semke interviews Nakita Reed, CPHC, Associate at Quinn Evans Architects, Co-Chair of the Zero Net Carbon Collaboration, and host of the Tangible Remnants podcast that explores the interconnectedness of architecture, sustainability, historic preservation, race, and gender. Nakita is the recipient of the 2018 AIA|DC Emerging Architect Award and the 2022 AIA Young Architects Award. In this episode, Nakita shares about her work bringing the fullness of American history, including the African American experience, into historic preservation work, the building performance lessons of historic architecture that are sometimes forgotten, how Passive House and preservation are and can be aligned in making high performance buildings, and the importance of cross-organization collaboration in working toward a decarbonized built environment.
