We believe in the power of design to create more equitable, just, and sustainable futures for our citizens by redesigning both our spaces and places, and also the means by which we make decisions. We design at the intersection of multiple fields, including government, community organizing, and education.
We imagine an equitable, healthy, resilient future.
We imagine an equitable, healthy, resilient future.
Equity
Good design is for all. And in order to design for all, we must radically reimagine how we design.
Health and Wellbeing
The built environment shapes our lives. We must reimagine the built environment to inspire us, to engage our senses, and to maintain the health of our residents and our ecosystems.
Resilience
The challenges that we will face in the coming century will require reimagining how we live, work, and play in our cities.
Collaboration
Our process centers collaboration, and is continuously testing and improving participatory practices.
Creativity
We believe in the power of design to tackle all kinds of challenges - policy, infrastructure, engagement, and public space-making and -keeping.
Craft
We bring an attention to detail, and the hope that the process of design can inspire as much delight as the final product.
