ARCHIVE Global

s of these problems will steadily become increasingly severe. What if there were simple solutions that lessened this burden? What if there were economical solutions that delivered lasting improvements at a fraction of current costs? ARCHIVE Global, Architecture for Health in Vulnerable Environments, believes that housing affects global health in a powerful way. We operate at the intersection of development, health, and architecture. We believe that a better built environment can drastically reduce the burden of disease and death in impoverished communities worldwide. We prioritize design as a key strategy in combating disease around the world. Prevention is the key to reducing the burden of disease. Simple, cost-effective improvements and scalable interventions represent a preventive model that is replicable and sustainable. Our Approach:

Research — We investigate how the built environment contributes to public health globally. Awareness — We inform communities about best practices to improve health and reduce the risk of disease. Advocacy — We strive to bring change at a national and international level through changes in public policy. Construction — We believe in the need to design, test, and build practical housing solutions that combat poor health.
