HPR-2: The Conversation

"Walk through Honolulu's Chinatown and the clashes of building styles and ways of life quickly come into view. Chinatown's community came together last month for the Chinatown Action Summit. Since then, an organization that goes by the acronym SHADE - that stands for Sustainable Humanitarian Architecture Design for the Earth- has offered workshops to follow up on City-sponsored Summit. Part of the makeover mix includes an urban planning and design technique- that's part of movement in other cities. SHADE founder and architect Dean Sakamoto is here to school us in Urban Acupuncture." HPR-2

SHADE Launch

SHADE is a professional alliance of innovative planning, architecture, design and engineering firms who share expertise and interest in the built environments of the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. As an alliance of companies, SHADE is an umbrella organization of member firms and individuals which transcend geographic borders to plan, design and build safer and more sustainable places in the rapidly urbanizing tropics. SHADE project types include housing, schools, workplaces, transportation, cultural and community building.

Sustainable and resilient planning includes the research, data collection, analysis and documentation of findings of existing and projected conditions. Planning is the necessary preamble to design and construction which factors the socio-political, economic and physical context of a place.

Humanitarian public interest practice places a priority on service to community and those who are undeserved by the environmental design professions. Public interest practice is an evolving field which leverages professional services to do what is right for those in need and to inspire action by resource holders and decision-makers.

Architecture and design, are the core practice disciplines at SHADE. We design buildings, places and things for people. Our approach is site and climate-based, taking into consideration the needs of the broader world, region and community. Design excellence is what we strive for in all projects with careful consideration of the project budget and evolving needs of our client and their stakeholders.
