who are we
Design+Peace is a community of architects dedicated to advancing sustainable and ecological architecture. Our mission is to create sustainable business models and systems through innovative design, focusing on supporting marginalized groups—such as children, women, people with disabilities, and refugees—particularly in post-disaster areas. Driven by a belief in the power of collaboration, we work to address environmental, economic, and social challenges that contribute to the resilience and development of communities.
Design+Peace operates as an interdisciplinary collaborative community, bringing together experts from diverse fields to design solutions for disadvantaged groups facing complex challenges. This approach allows us to respond quickly to immediate needs while creating lasting, sustainable systems. We adopt a holistic perspective in our work, considering the interconnected nature of issues.
Our projects range from ecological building design to education models, production systems, and economic development, all geared toward fostering social change. Our goal is not only to meet today’s demands but to create resilient systems that will empower future generations.
Our projects are guided by interdisciplinary knowledge-sharing and collective effort. We believe that creative thinking, sustainable practices, and close collaboration with communities are key to promoting social justice and environmental stewardship.
our mission
At Design+Peace, our mission is to leave a sustainable world for future generations by developing architecture and systems that are both innovative and inclusive. We tackle pressing issues—environmental impact, education, inequality, and migration—focusing on post-disaster and marginalized areas. By prioritizing inclusivity, local partnerships, and social justice, we design projects that meet the specific needs of communities.
Our approach recognizes the interconnectedness of global challenges, and we understand that they cannot be addressed in isolation. Each of our projects is crafted to address multiple, overlapping issues through solution-oriented designs tailored to the cultural, educational, and socioeconomic context of each region. We believe in the importance of local collaboration; by working with local organizations, communities, and producers, we incorporate their knowledge, culture, and experiences to shape impactful solutions.
Aligned with the principles of social justice and equality, we develop sustainable projects informed by the needs and feedback of the communities we serve. Through this commitment, Design+Peace is here to build a future where everyone can thrive.
Guided by our motto, “LEARN, DESIGN, BUILD,” we strive to drive social transformation and build a sustainable future. We invite you to join us in creating positive change!
