Barkitecture Events Pet architecture competitions raising funds & awareness for rescue animals 🐾 Adopt, donate, and celebrate design that saves lives!
(1)

Triangle Barkitecture was started in 2018 as a way to give back to the community while showcasing the talent of our local architects, designers, and creative minds all over the Triangle. Sponsored by AIA Triangle (American Institute of Architects), we have raised over $31,000 for local animal rescue organizations. Our Triangle Barktiecture events are held every year, and challenge designers to cre

ate unique, one-of-a-kind custom pet architecture that is auctioned off during the event and with proceeds going to our rescue partners. Triangle Barkitecture also holds special design competitions outside of our usual Barkitecture event, including Howl-o-Ween, a custom pet costume competition. We are proud to have worked with local animal rescue organizations including:, Hope Animal Rescue and Meow House Cat Rescue, Freedom Ride Rescue and Paw Prints Animal Rescue to help pets right here in the Triangle find loving homes.

Innovative problem solving…but make it stylish 🐈🐾

Last year, CRB debuted Neko at the Triangle Barkitecture event as an innovative way to support Trap Neuter Return (TNR) programs in our local community cat populations. The design featured a removable, elevated space to safely trap cats, which could be easily removed for transport of the felines for their spay/neuter.

We’re still deep into Kitten Season, y’all, and we need to continue to spread the word on what our local rescues are doing to help the cat population. We hope you’ll join us in bringing more awareness to all their work.

CRB took home the Greenest Paw award last year for the outside-the-box thinking and TNR support. What innovative designs will we see this year?
