ETHICAL DESIGN IN SERVICE TO COMMUNITIES
PROYECTO NN CORPORATION
We are a non-profit organization since 2015. We have a track record of managing projects involving the design of spaces, furniture, educational experiences, and research of varying scales and complexities.
WHAT DO WE DO?
We offer design solutions that have a social impact on community processes for improving popular habitat.
We believe in the power of the collective to overcome inequality in our society, which is why we reinvest the margin of our commercial sales and reuse leftover materials for the development of improvement projects in the headquarters of popular social organizations and lead pedagogical processes in the community sphere.
MISSION
We contribute to the well-being of communities by supporting businesses, cultural and/or community organizations in their processes of appropriation, socialization and transformation of space to improve the conditions in which they offer their services.
VISION
To be a platform for developing community appropriation projects of space, supporting social organization processes for change, being a benchmark in collective work methodologies and exchange of technical knowledge between professionals and community leaders.
