Mutual Projects is a Los Angeles-based, collaborative design practice, that brings together activists of different fields of expertise and works in various formats - from buildings, spaces, objects to campaigns and concepts.
Our work considers design as an open and collaborative process, where contextual and contemporary issues and concerns form the basis and framework of a project. In the context of a fundamental shift in spatial needs and housing affordability, Mutual Project explores the possibilities of co-creating different concepts and ways of living and working together - and building more sustainable communities.
Mutual Projects is lead by Ilija Bentscheff.
