I aim to build equitable neighborhood spaces and design processes and bring transformative architecture to fruition with people who don’t have access to the biggest budgets in the world. I started Ben Bruce Architecture to co-create grassroots spaces that brings communities together, as well as to experiment with more radical ideas about the future of our cities.

I have a passion for design that uplifts and empowers marginalized communities by telling meaningful stories about culture through the co-creation of spaces. I am working to design space for joy instead of barriers to it - to arrive at a collective vision for future homes, parks, neighborhoods, community centers, and cities.

What makes space just, healthy, and empowering to as many people as possible? I use this question as a guide to design solutions that address systemically rooted spatial and social injustices, and encourage people to dismantle the power structures that caused them.
