The process of an architectural project has long followed the same lineage. - Site selection - Financing - Programming - Design - Construction - Maintenance - Post-Occupancy Review. One of the biggest differences in Participatory Design, Public Private Partnerships or Crowdfunding is the involvement of the stakeholders and how that affects the delivery model. These types of creative financing for a building project can be service driven, profit driven or simply to find a solution to a complex problem. Many firms will participate in the 1% movement, vowing to donate 1% of their time to service projects for no profit. The primary goal of this project is to investigate and find that all of these delivery models can prove profitable for a firm so they can increase their participation in these types of projects. Each one of these delivery models can increase a firm's presence in their communities. Community engagement through Participatory Design, Public Private Partnerships or Crowdfunding, is a great way for a firm to give back, establish a presence and it is great PR. In a changing world, these delivery models will make a greater impression on the design field in the future. Does success and community acceptance of a project increase when the community members are engaged? Looking at projects of both top-bottom and bottom-top organization does the success change? Rather than telling a community what they are missing can the community itself help a design team understand what typology will benefit the community's needs? Engaging the community in decision making and in the design and construction itself historically shows greater project outcome.
