Design Thinking

January is the month of resolutions, revelations, and new beginnings. This January we celebrate Design Thinking. Why?

Design thinking begins with a deep inquiry into the why and whom – it’s about having empathy and taking a deep interest in understanding people (including ourselves).

With design thinking we engage the voices of many to ideate, motivate, innovate and create. Together, we experiment (and start over), solving one problem at a time, until a singular vision emerges. We find harmony, balance and beauty as we build outcomes that improve the way we connect to one another and to the planet.

Whether in the home or the workplace, hospitals or campuses, design thinking challenges the assumptions that have guided how we’ve done things until now and spurs us to consider new approaches.

Here’s to a new decade of forward-thinking design!

Happy January!

Here are some of the conceptual projects we’ve had fun with recently:

Flex Classrooms

We know that a learning experience has as much to do with our environment as it does the teachers and students that create those experiences. After the past year, we have all gained a profound appreciation of how important these are to foster development and ignite a love for learning.

Performance Space Design

March is Music in Our Schools Month, and this March we celebrate the performing arts and spaces that support the inclusive and energizing experience of live performance.

Library Design in a Changing World

With the ever-evolving nature of teaching and learning, the academic library has already undergone a great transformation by adapting to new paradigms present in higher education. The proliferation of digital resources and scholarship has meant that access to information is everywhere and even more critical in the current circumstances.

Solar Building Design

The sun is the most efficient source of energy available for human consumption. Photovoltaic systems, commonly known as solar arrays, give us the ability to actively integrate this abundant energy with the function and design of a building.

Historic Preservation

Our cities may have gone quiet these past months, but this time of stillness is a mere nano-second in the lifetime of our great historic places.
