Incusivity. Accountability. Innovation. Play.

During their architectural training, Curious co-founders Pooja & Brian worked at 14 architecture firms across the nation, from San Francisco to Seattle, D.C. to Chicago. They encountered brilliant yet jaded designers struggling to modernize the profession. Challenging the status-quo in long-established firms can be difficult and risky, especially for women and minorities.

Ultimately, they realized that unless these modern values are in the DNA of the firm, they won’t drive projects:

• Inclusive design for and with historically marginalized groups of people

• Proposing energy-efficient, ecological design at the outset of every project

• Revisiting completed projects, because architecture is a conversation, not a lecture

• Utilizing new technology to streamline design, permitting, and construction administration

• The power of curiosity and collaboration to achieve these goals as a team

Curious Architects was born out of necessity, to actualize a sustainable and equitable design future that feels right at our fingertips.
