Utopias may have died with alongside the modern, but the need for engaged, active architectural solutions to acculturated inequalities, economic disparities and outright atrocity is as pressing as ever.

turnmeOn – Organisers of a new, recurring design competition – currently running in Nepal.
CoDesign – A national network of interdisciplinary designers working on a number of humanitarian projects, both locally and within the region.
