Thank you @architectmag for speaking with us about where we can take architecture and where architecture can take us.

The profession of architecture is way overdue for massive changes on many levels, and labor is a major one.

The stories in this article are just the tip of the iceberg. Let's keep sharing them.

And then let's connect it to architectural education too!

Californian & Amazonian communities are more intertwined than one imagines. Burning Amazon oil releases millions of metric tons of CO2, contributing to global warming, increasing the chances of forest fires in CA & the Amazon. #LinkedFates

In true IA fashion, panelists of the #iaGathering2021 Inspiring Change forum shared their stories of resilience shaped by the pivot in design practices brought about by the pandemic, from engaging with people virtually to learning to slow down at a new rate of capabilities

📢"The highest concentration of active wells in LA County sit in/near places where low-income or POC live, and communities with less political power, like South LA and Wilmington." Phasing out oil drilling is a matter of equity & justice #FossilFreeFuture https://t.co/ZdiMc2mzWp

[STAND-LA @STAND_LA]

Black and Brown communities have waited years for action to address the dangers of oil drilling in their neighborhoods. @CD6Nury thanks for your leadership. We need @LACityCouncil to act with the same urgency given to the OC spill. Read our statement here: https://t.co/UzeBW5i9po

🎉🎊☀️WE DID IT! @LACountyBOS voted unanimously to take the 1st step to phase out oil drilling in unincorporated areas of Los Angeles, which has long threatened the health and wellbeing of residents. This is a HUGE victory for health, safety and cleaner air in Los Angeles!☀️🎊🎉
