Open Architecture Collaborative (OAC) cultivates new design models through training, fellowships, and consulting, with a focus on community engagement and relationship-driven design. OAC seeks to deepen its community engagement practices to address systemic racism, promote healing and wellness, and connect to land and climate justice. In particular, design practitioners who identify as Black, Indigenous, and people of color are looking to support land-based cultural and ancestral knowledge. OAC's partnership with Foxfire Ranch bridges designers and architects with Black, Indigenous, and people of color agrarians in the North Mississippi Hill Country. Rooted in shared values, relationship-building, and knowledge sharing, they are creating infrastructure for long-term building projects on Black, Indigenous, and people of color-owned land, as well as providing shelter for temporary climate refugees along the Gulf Coast's hurricane evacuation path. In this session, participants will identify core values, map relationships, and understand power dynamics in the design process. Through a series of mapping exercises, participants will explore personal strategies for relationship-building and balance their proximity to power with access to resources and expertise. This process will empower participants to approach design with a deeper understanding of community engagement and social justice.
