We are bringing back the CAFE manifestos! You are once again invited to create and share your manifesto, articulating a vision, question or concerns about the future of architecture within the theme of Housing. Manifestos may describe a desire or demand; a provocation or protest; a call to action or a call to pause, think and act differently.

Who can Apply?  - Canadian architecture students, Faculty, Intern Architects, Architects practicing in Canada – or anyone with ideas on making a more sustainable, equitable and engaging built environment.

Manifestos may be submitted in any of the following formats (multiple submissions are welcome):
