Why wait to make your impact?
You already see what the rest of us miss.
Urbanframe is a hands-on studio for young adults. Through collaborative fieldwork in community environments, students apply their unique perspectives to societal problems: reading what is happening, decoding the forces at work, and surfacing the insights that point toward solutions experts have missed.
2026 Theme...
Visible Cities
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."
— Marcel Proust
For 2026, we focus on the innovation opportunities hiding in contemporary cities.
Teams will learn to identify the forces that actually shape how we live: tribes of trust, seeds of future trends, invisible communities, unspoken rules, and more.
Add you your creativity and perspective!
