Hood Design Studio, Inc., is a social art and design practice based in Oakland, California, founded in 1992.

The studio’s practice is tripartite: art + fabrication, design + landscape, and research + urbanism.

This breadth allows us to understand each place in its scale and context. We respond not with a standard design, but with an approach adaptive to the particulars and specifics of a space.

We strengthen endemic patterns and practices—those ecological and cultural, contemporary and historic, and those that remain unseen or unrecognized. Urban spaces and their objects act as public sculpture, creating new apertures through which to see the emergent beauty, strangeness, and idiosyncrasies around us.
