OAC is a US-based nonprofit supported by a global network of community chapters. OAC develops educational programming for designers and architects to grow as leaders and changemakers while simultaneously producing placemaking programs with community developers and associations to inspire ownership and civic engagement in traditionally marginalized communities.
The Open Architecture Collaborative can help you run community-driven design/build projects and creative placemaking programs to engage your neighbors and to support further community investment in the environment. OAC can support your community group or nonprofit with a specific project while building the capacity for civic engagement.
