What We’re Reading: Bob Recommends “How to Change Your Mind”
We asked Caddis Collaborative staff members what they’re reading. Senior architect Bob Wilson is at a rich time in his life, a time that calls for introspection and invites transformation. His exploration of growth and change ultimately led him to the ideas expressed in Michael Pollan’s bestselling book “How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence.”
Mission-Driven Communities in Israel: A Model for the United States?
We’ve been exploring the different types of communities and situations that can benefit from cohousing principles. One great example is Berkeley Moshav, the first large-scale Jewish cohousing community in the United States. In this post, Roger Studley, the founder of Urban Moshav and the community development manager for Berkeley Moshav, reflects on his journey to explore intentional communities in Israel and to bring the concepts back to the United States.
Designing with Nature: Biodiverse Design in Caddis Projects
How do you make a green environment for people to live in that is also integrated with nature? That’s the question we ask at Caddis as we incorporate the principles of biodiversity in our design. Throughout our work, we affirm the belief that the human world and the natural world can and should be integrated – rather than designing so that housing is over here and nature over there.
