Architecture is at a tipping point. Voices of the under-represented have been increasing in volume and are agitated for change.

Do you know how to create beautiful buildings that truly promote social change? Architects need to understand how to design for social equity, but too often this is presented as a choice between work that does good and work thata looks good.
