    While the Architecture Social focuses on supporting people from our industry in finding the next step in their careers, we frequently donate, collaborate and support several charities and noble causes who are actively making a difference in the Built Environment. Here are a few examples of our recent collaborations:

    Article 25

    Architecture Social is proud to donate to Article 25 as a member of More Than a Building, supporting their work to design and deliver hospitals, schools and homes in places where they are needed most.

    Article 25 uses design to improve health, livelihoods and resilience to disasters, working with local partners to create lasting social impact. Through our membership and donations, we support their mission while staying connected to a wider community of built environment professionals using architecture as a force for good.

    Architecture Social’s contribution helps Article 25 continue delivering practical, design-led support where it can have the greatest impact.

    Architects Benevolent Society

    Offering confidential advice, support and financial assistance to the architectural community and their families in times of need.

    The Architects Benevolent Society supports people across architecture, architectural technology and landscape architecture, as well as their families, when life becomes difficult.

    Their work helps members of the profession access advice, financial assistance and wellbeing support during challenging periods, whether they are working, between roles, retired or facing personal hardship.

    Stephen Drew, founder of Architecture Social, is proud to be an Ambassador for the Architects Benevolent Society, helping to raise awareness, support fundraising and bring the architectural community together around the charity’s important work.

    Part W

    Architecture Social is proud to support Part W as part of its Supporter Circle, helping champion gender equity across the built environment.

    Part W is an action group working to challenge the systems that disadvantage women in architecture, design and the wider built environment. Through research, campaigns, events, publications and workshops, they highlight women’s contributions to the industry and push for meaningful structural change.

    For Architecture Social, supporting Part W is a practical commitment to the kind of profession we want to help build: fairer, broader in perspective and more representative of the people it serves.

    Architecture shapes the places people live, work and move through every day. The industry is stronger when more voices are heard, recognised and given the opportunity to lead.

    Build Studios

    Collaborating for a better Built Environment.

    Build Studios is a hub for the built environment sector, bringing people together through events, education, collaboration and shared space.

    Architecture Social has proudly worked with Build Studios to support its mission of helping more people understand the built environment and the range of careers available across the sector.

    Our shared aims include widening access, improving representation and creating more opportunities for people from under-represented backgrounds to connect with the industry.

    Through collaboration, public awareness and education, Build Studios helps inspire the next generation to engage with the challenges and possibilities shaping our cities, communities and spaces.
