2024 ACTIVATE | Submissions Due!
February 20
Architects not only design buildings – they also help people shape the future of their communities. The goal of ACTIVATE North Carolina is to help architects guide, listen, observe, advocate, connect, and envision with the public and their communities. Through these six exercises, the end goal is to inspire people to take action and shape the future of their communities around them. Architects can:
- Guide – Architects use a design process to find solutions, facilitating clearer communication
- Listen – Identify opportunities and potential challenges through interviews and conversations
- Observe – Collect understanding and offer different perspectives
- Advocate – Support citizens as they develop more confidence to seek change
- Connect – Facilitate relationships and identify key stakeholders
- Envision – Communicate tangible ideas by illustrating a vision that shows the future a community desires
When you’re ready to submit, use the online Call for Submissions form here!

AIAWS had the first event for our 2024 #ACTIVATE Community project! We're partnering with Crossnore Communities for Children for a Design-Build Project. Together with their staff & the kids, we're designing and building an incentive cart to be used on campus, bringing art supplies, ice cream, hot chocolate, and more to all the kids on campus. ![]()
This event was the design portion, and seeing the kids bring their ideas to life on paper was so exciting! Their imaginations were endless and their creativity was unmatched! We can't wait to come back on campus and build & decorate this cart with them!![]()
Thank you so much to all of our volunteers and our sponsors for helping us make this event possible!![]()
