Sacred Places/Civic Spaces: Call for Design Teams

Collaborate with three Philly congregations to reimagine historic sacred places as civic spaces! 

The Community Design Collaborative, in partnership with Partners for Sacred Places, is exploring how historic sacred places can support civic engagement, social cohesion, and neighborhood equity. Join us to demonstrate that underutilized space in historic sacred properties throughout Philadelphia can be activated in ways that expand the civic commons, serve a larger secular purpose, and strengthen communities! Sacred Places/Civic Spaces is funded by the William Penn Foundation.

We are seeking multidisciplinary design teams to be paired with the congregations of three real-life, historic sacred places located in Philadelphia neighborhoods. Together they will create innovative design and development concepts for incorporating civic spaces into sacred places.

Each participating design team will receive a stipend of $10,000. Submissions are due on Monday, April 9, 2018 at 5 pm.  Please submit using the following link:
