Spotlighting contemporary design and research practitioners who are creatively leveraging their expertise for social change, this book features interviews with fifteen influential design leaders who are at the forefront of their profession's efforts to confront pressing challenges like housing insecurity, racial and economic inequality, environmental degradation, and architectural waste. Among the interviewees are Dana Cuff, who, as director of cityLAB, is helping to reshape housing policy in California; Joana Dabaj, cofounder of the design charity CatalyticAction, which empowers refugee children from the Syrian civil war to act as \"co-designers\" of playgrounds and public spaces in Lebanon; and Ivi Diamantopoulou and Jaffer Kolb of New York City-based New Affiliates, who repurpose, through lively recontextualization, the architectural byproducts of their city's museum exhibitions and building-performance mockups. These insightful student-led interviews compellingly capture the current moment of soul-searching in both the profession and the academy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn indispensable guide for design students and professionals alike, \u003ci\u003eArchitecture and Social Change \u003c\/i\u003egathers inspirational stories alongside practical advice for how to navigate a career in architecture while seeking to make a positive impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Holland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032775971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032775975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Brian Holland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47135303631103,"sku":"9781032775975","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92a6f9c1-eb13-47ac-837c-5f380c138fb7.jpg?v=1755009750","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/architecture-and-social-change-brian-holland-9781032775975","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
