Mesh Architecture creates spaces for meaningful connections.
Mesh Architecture is a design practice that supports diversifying the built form of housing and social spaces.
Mesh Architecture experiments through built work, speculative projects, research, and advocacy.
Mesh connects architecture to urban design, policy, finance, and real estate development through experience, open knowledge exchange, and mixed communication techniques.
Mesh Architecture does more with less.
Mesh seeks to act as a knowledge hub and a space of information exchange and collaboration, rather than a final portfolio or monograph.

Molly Dalsin, AIA
Architect,
educator, and researcher in Minneapolis and founder of Mesh Architecture. With an initial interest in large-scale civic projects and the revolution of public space, Molly has now taken on an evolutionarypractice consisting of multiple, smaller community interventions. These built works diversify the way we engage with our environment and with each other. Although she has worked on a myriad of building types, housing projects have become a priority. Beyond housing as a basic human right and a high priority need, housing exhibits an exciting tension between ideas of privacy, escapism, and individuality, and those of community, cooperative living, and deeper human relationships. With a proclivity to understand financial and economic systems at play in real estate development, Molly brings years of experience leading complex design processes with multi-disciplinary teams to establish alternative modes of viable real estate development and their subsequent unique spatial opportunities. She works to better understand the social impact of architecture beyond aesthetics and into effect through research, teaching, and built work. This intensity is balanced with the joy of time with family and friends, taking walks, traveling, reading fiction, lifting weights, playing music, and trying to figure out what skibidi means from her two young kids.
