Our UC Davis Global Architecture Brigades chapter falls under one of the nine divisions of the Global Brigades program, an organization which has been guiding the efforts of thousands of students and professionals in providing specialized aid to under-resourced parts of the world since 2004.
Architecture Brigade’s mission is to alleviate community needs in health and education infrastructure through design and hands-on construction projects. Once a University Chapter expresses their interest, they will be provided with a brief on an upcoming design contest. Chapters then have a limited time to submit their school/health center design into a contest against other university chapters. The community then selects the design(s) that best fit their needs. Based on the selected design, our on the ground architect works with the winning chapter to ensure that the design is structurally sound and ready for building. For the construction of the school, all participating chapters, along with any chapters that just want to construct and not design, come together to help build.
