DIRTY HANDS collaborative

BUILDING COMMUNITY. BOUNCING FORWARD.

The Dirty Hands Collaborative’s goal is to help address the acute need for ideas, designs, and recovery plans in Western North Carolina. We aim to do this through documenting sites, buildings, and communities in need and connecting them with university and college programs throughout the United States. This gives educators and students in the architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, and engineering fields the chance to help and learn through real world service learning while also giving the communities of WNC a helping hand in the recovery process.

  • COMMUNITY

    We are working to spark conversation about rebuilding through open and inclusive exhibition of ideas.

  • LAND OWNERS

    We have all been affected in different ways. The Dirty Hand Collaborative aims to work together and assist in your recovery and rebuilding. Please reach out.

  • EDUCATORS

    Reach out and we can provide real world case studies where your students work can have a real world impact as our communities recover.
