Working With Equitable Partners, Community Members, & Public Officials

Architects are conveners and leaders who have the privilege of seeing the whole picture, even when they're tasked with fine-tuning thousands of details.

This session advances AIA's longstanding claim that architects work at the intersection of multiple disciplines. The speakers for this session reinforce that claim through the work they do with communities, fostering intercultural competence, and brokering opportunities for architecture to transform the places where we live, work, and play.

As community needs encompass broad concerns such as social justice and resiliency, attendees will hear about the importance of building trust and adopt solutions created in partnership with an array of stakeholders.
