Ten to One and their sister non profit Ten for All are a Brooklyn based design collective synergizing architectural practice with community resilience. In ten years, Ten to One have designed one hundred residential projects, while Ten for All collaborate with community basedorganizations on more expansive, transdisciplinary projects such as community hubs, schools, libraries, parks, ecological infrastructure, participatory cartography and futurist proposals.
All their projects share a dual perspective, zooming out to encompass socio-spatial and urban ecological context, while zooming in to support placemaking from the ground up. Ten to One and Ten for All tells the long odds story of how these dual practices developed from pro bono to not-for-profit mission driven design for equity and sustainability social and ecological justice-in projects and processes at a studio where past and present employees serve as the Board of Directors. Essays by professionals, academics and community leaders tell stories of making their own work, social and ecological resilience, holistic design, and community participation and stewardship.
