In this session, Sara Caples and Everardo Jefferson will discuss their upcoming book Many Voices: Architecture for Social Equity. Drawn out of their frustration with writers contin uing to talk about work for social equity as if it were an alternative to good design, the book will explore the question of how designing for social equity can broaden and enrich architectural design. It’s a project full of lessons learned from a career devoted to designing for social equity, including essays, case studies, and interviews with prominent practitioners and academics.
