A Harvard alumni-founded venture
is a research organization that helps city stakeholders to advance social, economic, and environmental equity through urban design.
Our focus of interest is the dual character of cities as main emitters of greenhouse gases and as intellectual and productive hubs that facilitate the development of sustainable initiatives.
Unlike traditional design offices, we focus on problems rather than products. We (re)define urban problems according to ever-changing cultural and environmental conditions to maximize the efficiency of sustainable actions.
Climate Adaptation
Our urban design expertise relies equally on design research and design imagination to foresee sustainable cities and resilient communities through climate adaptation.
Our Mission
To design and build sustainable cities and resilient communities by offering an ecological understanding of the fragile urban symbiosis with nature.
The cities we live in have been designed. So we ask ourselves: By whom? For whom?
Our Research Experience
At D A COOP, we consider that governments and companies can only thrive within successful communities.
