our purpose
The Association for Community Architecture designs, forms, develops and facilitates communities. We help in assembling and building communities for various purposes. Our services offer new perspectives and levels of depth to existing communities as well as solutions for their development.
Our innovative community design uses creative methods, gamification and bold imagination. These allow us to view the community as an object, or even a work of art, into which unique, inspiring and personal qualities can be shaped. Our innovative approach allows us to design community structures and practices in a more creative, detailed and structured way than is usually the case.
