Company Description:

The Curry Stone Design Collaborative (CSDC) is a design studio created to equip
underserved and marginalised communities with methods to design, develop and
improve their built environments.

Launched in India in 2016, CDSC operates as a true collective of social design
practices, architects, civic planners working collaboratively with communities in
need. It unites design practitioners and communities in a common cause:
addressing inequalities using design and technical tools.

At CSDC’s core is a community driven design process. It starts by spending
significant time with residents to gain a thorough understanding of the
complexities of their living conditions. It is only after the community is
comfortable and familiar with the CSDC team that the work of collaborating on the
design of life-improving solutions begins. The ultimate goal is for the community
to be full participants in the initial process, and to be empowered to continue the
work on their own for years to come.
