AA Community Cluster

 

The Architectural Association Community Cluster is a newly formed group that seeks to act as a forum for people interested in socially and environmentally responsible design, with an emphasis on small-scale, self-built projects in the UK and abroad. One facet of the Community Cluster is the AA’s Article 25 Student Chapter, the aim of which is to raise awareness about the role the built environment can play in international development and disaster relief. Through a series of lectures, workshops and events, our ambition is to bring together the activities and research already taking place within the school, and reach a wider audience through the AA’s public program.
