ARCHITECTURE + ADVOCACY WHO WE ARE OUR TEAM We are a student-run organization focused on social justice through the built environment. We volunteer our time to organize workshops, community events, and community service projects for South LA. OUR MISSION Architecture + Advocacy (A+A) empowers communities to un-design the spatial injustices affecting their neighborhoods. OUR VISION We believe everyone, not just trained architects, should have a hand in designing their homes, businesses, and neighborhoods. Spring 2022 Family Day
WHAT WE DO Architecture teaches us that because inequalities in the spatial environment were designed by human actions, they can be un-designed. Our program advocates that architecture is more than just designing buildings, and can be used as a community tool to create system-level change. We offer a design practice where everyone gets an opportunity to reflect on their lived experiences, listen to the experiences of others, and collaborate to design equitable solutions in their neighborhoods. We provide a space to take action creatively, together. A+A helps communities take back a seat at the table and shape new, empowered narratives about who they are and what they can be.
