Given our ongoing housing affordability crisis in Davis (and all over California) paired with the climate crisis, Dos Pinos offers an ever more important model for how we can build places that are more affordable, more sustainable and more enjoyable. It takes vision and creativity, but we have shown that it is possible.
March is Women’s History Month. We are proud that half our team at Indigo is women. The field of architecture has historically underrecognized women even though women practitioners have always made significant contributions to the field, from solar pioneer Mária Telkes to architects Julia Morgan and Zaha Hadid. We are grateful for the contributions of all our women team members to our work here at Indigo. We are taking this opportunity to highlight each of them.
Indigo is a leader in the growing movement for humane treatment of animals in our communities, and a frequent collaborator with the world’s leading expert on shelter-medicine design principles, UC Davis’ Koret Shelter Medicine program. Our shelters have a very low-carbon profile and use much less water and energy to operate.
We are grateful and eager to be witnessing the end of the fossil fuel era and the beginning of a new phase of human reliance on clean, renewable energy from sun, wind and the stabilizing, radiant qualities of thermal mass stored in water, earth and other materials.
We believe that the work of architects is to design a built environment that serves people and planet. Architecture in practice is not always about originating sleek new designs. It’s also about adapting our existing built environment, and the codes that shape that environment, so that it serves the evolving needs of our society.
Reflecting on the role that the built environment plays in both mitigating climate change and fostering resilience in the face of extreme conditions.
