Rise for Architecture is a national, volunteer-led movement
We are passionate about designing healthy environments for all Canadians.
Architecture Impacts People + Our Planet
Research shows well-designed buildings create sustainable, socially equitable, and inspiring communities.
And yet, in Canada, we haven’t always considered this. We aim to change that. How? Through a national conversation that helps shape better spaces for everyone.
