Hood Design Studio, Inc., founded in 1992, is a social art and design practice based in Oakland, California. The studio’s practice is tripartite: art and fabrication, design and landscape, and research and urbanism. This breadth allows the studio to understand each place in its scale and context, with an approach adapted to the particulars of a space. The studio’s work strengthens endemic patterns and practices—ecological and cultural, contemporary and historic, as well as those that remain unseen or unrecognized. Urban spaces and their objects act as public sculptures, creating new apertures through which to see emergent beauty, strangeness, and idiosyncrasy.
