Architecture and Activism

Architecture and activism intersect when design and built environments serve social, political, or environmental purposes. It involves creating spaces that challenge norms, raise awareness, or advocate for change—such as affordable housing campaigns or sustainable city planning. This approach uses architectural projects not just for aesthetics or function but as tools to address societal issues, inspire community engagement, and promote equity. In essence, it’s about leveraging design to advocate for positive transformation, making architecture a catalyst for social activism.
