    Pod[CHAOS]t Ep 3 - Social Impact Architecture

    Pod[CHAOS]t Ep 3 - Social Impact Architecture

    The true power of design goes beyond the built environment and impacts the lives of people and shapes communities. In Emily Roush-Elliot and Omar Hakeem’s view, good reductive design pairs with the pragmatism of social impact architecture. Making a social impact requires a rigorous professional practice to make the change a reality. Join this discussion pairing the art of architecture with the toolbox of skills architects use to create a social impact in the built environment.
