AAHA was formed as a collective with a mutual passion to bring Canada’s housing crisis to the forefront of design discourse at the Venice Biennale in 2023. The collective, featuring leading architects, activists, and advocates from across the country, transformed the Canadian pavilion at the Giardini into a heartquarters for a campaign against commodified housing. 10 teams from across the country, 3 led by Indigenous peoples, offered different approaches to housing that aspire to allow all Canadians the opportunity for dignified, safe, and affordable housing.
