Decade of Design
Growing urbanization worldwide presents critical needs and opportunities for creative solutions - and this is where architects can make important contributions though design thinking. This AIA initiative seeks to effect meaningful change through research, community participation, design frameworks, and active implementation of innovative solutions.

Combining purpose, research, creativity and action, this collaboration between AIA + MIT is poised for important outcomes.
