Open Architecture Collaborative Los Angeles

We are the Los Angeles chapter of Open Architecture Collaborative  We are a US-based nonprofit (501c3) supported by a global chapter network, mobilizing architects and designers with technical skills to build capacity for greater community good. We identify, connect, and maximize design potential to create measurable social impact for marginalized communities in the Los Angeles area.  We develop educational programming for our young leaders to grow while simultaneously producing placemaking programs with community developers and associations to inspire ownership and civic engagement. We have 22 chapters in 11 countries. We believe social change is enabled when communities work together and speak up with a common voice for their needs.
