Architectural Education

Re: Do You Know What an Architect REALLY Does?

School seems to have a resource of "Design"
A majority of real building/construction seems to lack such attention.

Have schools volunteered their "design" services to their communities
or neighborhoods, so that an accepted design could be taken over for
development by a firm?

ex. In deteriorating neighborhoods, when vacant lots allow for new
design of space or community- often is the case that a standard
box home replaces the one that was there before, this time, it
is only meant to last 50 years, and it looks cheap, like some
economical builders homes.

Has anyone heard of a non-profit architecture firm?
