Connecting Youth With Architecture
Designed Awareness connects youth with their communities through architecture, education, and mentorship. Students gain hands-on experience, working directly on projects that matter.

Designed Awareness, born in 2016, is a collaboration between TRUE Skool, Abacus Architects, and Next Museum.
