Collaborate

Community + Collaborative Design projects recognize that the design of the built environment benefits from collaborative processes that celebrate a multitude of voices. In linking community partners to spatial designers, C+CD projects seek to create new partnerships and alliances, building coalitions in the pursuit of transformative change, and transforming our experiences of the built environment.

We are currently accepting applications for interested designers and community partners that would benefit from design resources.
