"I discovered a new scale of intervention in Architecture: the human one!!!"

Teresa Rodriguez (Bangkok 2007)

Who we are

Architecture Sans Frontières – UK (ASF-UK) aims to make community and international development issues integral to the practice and teaching of architecture. We strive to make architecture relevant to the world’s majority – people who are marginalised or living in poverty.

What we do

Through exhibitions and events, live projects, international workshops and UK workshops ASF-UK explores and engages in complex cross cutting themes of development with ‘participation’ as the primary methodology to achieving a more equitable and fair existence for everybody.

Our field of work

We have established three key areas of focus or cross cutting themes in the work that we have done and continue to do which are explored through a variety of methods. The themes include: urban reality (UR), sustainable solutions (SS) and disaster risk reduction (DRR).
