The Department of Architecture’s cultural outreach for the 2012-2013 second semester aimed to stress the role architecture and design can have on a community and the potential role it can play in development, awareness, and activism. Design and planning for a community can be the catalyst for change-making.
Our afternoon will begin with 20:20 Presentations from local designers, creative thinkers and visionaries sharing their projects, practices and ideas on community empowerment, followed by Q&A and discussion panels with the presenters.
