THE SITE COLLECTIVE
The Site Collective is a not-for-profit organization established in 2015 to continue the legacy of Canada’s longest running independent journal for architecture and urbanism. As a team of designers, academics, practitioners, journalists, and consultants, we work independently as well as with collaborators from various disciplines to deliver creative projects that contribute to the discourse around social change.
Collectively we believe in the the capacity of the built environment and its related disciplines — architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, and art, among others — to positively impact social, political, cultural, and ecological challenges facing humanity and the planet more broadly. We are particularly interested in offering an interdisciplinary platform to explore the agency of designers and aligned professionals in bringing change, advocacy, and engagement beyond the limits of art and design.
Our primary activity is the semi-annual publication of The Site Magazine. However, we are also engaged with a series of ongoing activities in the areas of publishing, curation, education, and advisory support.
