Architects Without Borders is an organisation that works to create development with architecture and planning as tools.
We believe that decent living conditions are a human right and that the built environment plays a large and often under-recognized role in the ability of people and communities to develop their potential.
That’s why we make architectural knowledge available to civil society and organizations that normally don’t have access to it. In doing so, we take responsibility for the architectural profession developing in a solidary and environmentally sustainable direction.
Through our thematic programs, we work in a project-oriented and practical way to support vulnerable people at home and abroad. This also creates experience and knowledge building among architects in Denmark, for the benefit of the part of the Danish architectural profession that plays in the global workplace.
We consist of a small administrative office, 30 volunteers, and are supported by approximately 500 members from various professional backgrounds. Most are architects, but everyone is welcome to join the organization. You can sign up here.
Architects Without Borders is a Danish registered nonprofit organization.
