Design for Freedom Pilot Projects Open Call

Every building tells a story of humanity — either of dignity or exploitation.

Design for Freedom Pilot Projects are an opportunity to be at the forefront of a transformative movement in architecture and construction. Your work will help demonstrate that ethical, transparent building practices aren’t just possible — they’re essential for the future of design.

To date, Design for Freedom has created 12 pilot projects with owners, designers, and construction teams on three continents around the globe and we are actively seeking additional Design for Freedom Pilot Projects from a range of typologies.

Together, we seek to create new findings, research, and outcomes that often supersede our baseline expectations of examining a subset of building materials for transparency and prioritization of ethical, forced labor free supply chains. By engaging in the work through all phases of the built project with large project teams and suppliers, the Pilot Projects add tremendous velocity to the Design for Freedom movement.
