What’s Your Story?
The Lobby’s participatory video campaign documents, makes accessible, and amplifies the voices and experiences of architectural workers through film artifacts that bolster organizing motions.
-
COOP Network
The Coop Network group of The Architecture Lobby researches, advocates, and shares knowledge of cooperative network models, worker-ownership structures, and cross-sector cooperation for architectural practice. The broader goals of these efforts are to increase worker equity, build stability during fluctuations of practice and life, build collective power for smaller firms, and—ultimately—transform the role of activist-architects in their communities.
If you are interested in starting a new working group, contact us.
We can help you set it up by:
- Arranging a discussion with you and anyone else from your school or city to talk about the lobby in detail.
- Helping you identify the ways in which you might go about organizing a first meeting, some projects you might plug into and some of the things chapters have done in the past.
- Sending you a chapter starter kit for student chapters.
- Attending your first chapter meeting and workshop some potential projects and focuses for a new chapter.
