Climate Responsive Design Research

Locale Architects pursues an authentic architectural research process that recognizes and anticipates changing climates and emerging environmental challenges.

Our design process adapts to individual biomes and microclimates by incorporating environmental, economic, and cultural considerations.  The designs are influenced by indigenous solutions to environmental challenges, current climate change research, and advances in building technologies.

Climate change has already increased migration on a global scale, with many locations facing increasing fires, flooding, sea-level rise, and drought. One of our driving priorities is to assist with providing temporary housing while striving to maintain community, recognizing that we will be meeting these needs in potentially remote locations with limited resources.
