Adaptiv

OUR MISSION: Adaptiv provides planning and architecture services to emerging communities across the globe. Our services employ a community centric, collaborative methodology of research and design thinking to problem solve and develop resilient solutions that adapt to the ever changing needs of the communities we serve. We will constantly build, measure, and learn from past experiences and projects to push constant innovation in order to produce the efficiency of our final product. Adaptiv's model encourages collaboration and strategic partnerships with similar minded entities and community stakeholders to leverage skill sets and optimize our reach. OUR WHY: Low income communities in emerging and developed markets typically do not have access to high quality, affordable design services. We want to change this disparity. We believe that everyone deserves thoughtfully designed spaces that meet basic human needs of structural safety, protection from the weather, sanitation facilities, natural daylight, and airflow. As a non for profit we are able to supply high quality design without a high price tag. OUR VALUES: 1. Respect Context: We research and engage with the local environment and community. In order to provide design, we must understand who we are designing for. 2. Community First: Our work engages local communities to empower them in the design of their future. 3. Resiliency: We design for the present and to support future growth or changes. Our work employs a sustainable approach is designed to address natural disasters and epidemics. 4. Dignification: We provide high quality design in low resource settings because all communities deserve spaces and environments they are proud of.
