North by Northwest - Jeffrey Inaba - Shifting from analysis to formINABA, an architecture office founded by Los Angeles-based Jeffrey Inaba, specialises in content development and design. The firm’s creative process involves a unique method of analysis to first define a project’s objectives and then to oversee all aspects of its production. This stems from the practice’s broader philosophy to grasp the depths of a problem and once it is appraised, to provide clients with findings that assist in making better-informed decisions during planning, design and realisation phases.A commitment to insight, creative thinking and careful execution underscores the firm’s approach to architecture projects. INABA transforms observations about culture, human interaction and the urban environment into comprehensively designed artifacts. The precision of the firm’s design approach stems from Inaba’s extensive background in analysis and planning. Jeffrey Inaba is the Director of C-Lab, a think tank at Columbia University‘s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation which studies urbanism and architecture and makes policy recommendations. In addition to being a faculty member at Columbia, Inaba has taught at UCLA, Harvard and SCI-Arc. He serves on the Mayor’s Design Advisory Panel in Los Angeles and as an advisor to several private institutions.
