About
GIGA stands for Green Ideas, Green Actions
GIGA refers to cycles of ideas and actions that together generate positive impact.
GIGA is an active resource. Information is freely accessible for all users - just sign up for a free user account. Resources are designed to empower users with the necessary tools to accelerate positive change and growth. Our aim is to RESET™ our environments to be healthy and worth sustaining. We believe our built environment will catalyze this change.
GIGA is a prefix that refers to a larger order of magnitude: a bigger picture. Creatives are trained to take a step back from their work to consider this bigger picture, adjust and keep moving. All operations, research and tools are approached and developed qualitatively. Globally, we are still too far away from being sustainable to waste time to precisely understand just how unsustainable we are.
GIGA is revolutionary in that short cycles of analysis are used to generate timely and relevant information to influence development and change. We are continually evaluating current resources for change (including our own) and improving their deficiencies to create incrementally targeted and useful tools.
GIGA is primarily aimed at design professionals, though it also directly impacts their clients, manufacturers, builders, vendors, end user, and ultimately the environment. GIGA is proudly designed and made in The People's Republic of China.
Green Ideas - Ideas inspire Change
GIGA's tools are designed as a set of principles, not rules. Positive impact solutions require a diverse set of solutions and a flexible mindset. GIGA empowers designers with a platform to develop ideas, understand life-cycle impact and build individual design processes to support positive design actions. Users are empowered to join our mission, to share ideas and information to inspire change.
Green Actions - Change requires Action
Transforming ideas into actions requires resources. It also requires momentum. GIGA connects users with both. GIGA's Databases provide users with information and ideas to help accelerate positive change.
