A site dedicated to raising awareness of our built environment, and educating the general public about its importance and value.

  • What is Design Sense?

    The built environment around us directly affects the way each one of us lives, works and plays every day.  It can foster community or cause isolation.  It can rob us of our time and resources or it can provide energy and vitality.  It can depress us or inspire us.  For these reasons, it is critical to everyone, and imperative that we become better educated abut the quality and process of development.


  • Will Adams is committed to educating the general public about this important but generally neglected area of concern. Using a jargon-free and common sense approach, he provides assistance and instruction to various groups, organizations and individuals, helping them to better understand and evaluate the quality of cities, neighborhoods, and buildings as well as proposed improvements.
