Community architecture focuses on designing spaces and structures that serve the social, cultural, and practical needs of communities. These projects often address issues of accessibility, cultural identity, social rehabilitation, and public engagement through thoughtful spatial design.

The community explores how architecture can function as a generator of social integration, examining projects ranging from public civic centers and cultural hubs to interventions in underutilized spaces. Work here addresses community rehabilitation, cultural preservation, and the role of shared environments in strengthening social bonds.

(pr)OpenCity

‘(pr)OpenCity’ advocates a collaborative design method for future development: one that allows rapid application with its prototypical nature and an inclusive approach with mediation between the ‘user’ and the ‘urban’. Building upon the concepts of ‘open-sourcing’ in design, this experiment establishes a user-centric design approach to built interiors.
