Indigo Celebrates Women's History Month

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.

Evolving the Built Environment to Serve People ...

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.
