The AAP (Alternative Academic Project) is the result of an interest in fostering an alternative debate regarding architecture, urban planning, and landscape. We believe that contemporary education is built upon small components with a strong emphasis on diversity and internationality. Practice as an exercise of the architectural profession, with the intent of offering intellectual freedom, is fundamental to the future of the discipline. Through this project, we seek to blur boundaries and bring people together. The AAP aims to be an organization of professionals capable of providing concrete responses to territorial transformations, serving as a critical complement to architecture schools.
