Who we are
The Organic Architecture + Design Archives, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) dedicated to preserving and promoting the legacy of organic architecture and design. Our mission is to honor the past, celebrate the present, and support the future of this creative, integrated, and uniquely American design tradition through education, conservation, publications, and exhibitions.
Founded in 2013, the OA+D Archives was born from a shared passion to save original drawings, documents, and artifacts at risk of being lost. Since then, we’ve preserved thousands of materials from visionary architects and designers. But much remains to be done — and we rely on your support to expand our efforts.
We maintain a reading room and research center in Chandler, Arizona, and since 2025 have operated a dedicated archival processing facility to support conservation and cataloging. Our Online Catalog includes nearly 50 named collections, with many more in need of resources for preservation.
Your purchases from our Online Store, including the Journal of Organic Architecture + Design, directly support our mission. The journal, published three times per year, along with book monographs and other publications, shares rare stories and fosters original research in the field.
We invite you to sign up for our monthly newsletter, explore our publications, and consider supporting our work by joining the Friends of OA+D sustaining membership program.
