fabersociety

Our mission is to explore new forms of design advocacy in marginalized communities. Our work seeks to initiate creative investments that broaden the range activities and increase the intensity of local cultural and economic exchanges through spatial and programmatic compounds - launching collaborative works, conversations and provisional networks that can be sustained through well-designed infrastructures addressing need and growth. Our approach emphasizes on renewal of existing configurations and small-scale materialization, with minimal intervention and optimized use of resources.
By identifying the common ground between cultural and economic program needs and public service, we also seek to develop sustainable building programs supported by local community, external resources and our design and construction expertise.
As a research and design collaborative funded in 2013 at Harvard Graduate School of Design, fabersociety is a group of dedicated designers who are passionate about making a difference at micro levels. Together, we pool our experience in architecture, real estate, curatorial process and media relations with practical field knowledge in the social and cultural conditions of Mainland China.
