Public Architecture

Public Architecture is a key founder in the contemporary social impact design movement. They offer a venue where architects and designers can work for the public good. Public Architecture provides the network and knowledge necessary to use the design of the built environment as a tool for social gain. Through their flagship program, 1+, they connect nonprofits with pro bono design services. They are a knowledge broker, matchmaker and advocate for socially meaningful design. They frame social and environmental problems in the built environment and facilitate solutions in circumstances where both clients and financing must be imagined in new ways. They lead the pro bono design movement by asking design firms to formalize their commitment to give back professionally.
