Inclusivity & Innovation: Unleash the Creative Potential of Diverse Teams

Teams that are diverse bring together their varied experiences and unique perspectives to create more relevant and impactful designs. An important strategy to effect change is to lead a design process that is inclusive and empathetic. You will hear from architects and clients on their experiences navigating through the profession and creating culturally inclusive places for community. Hear case studies from our new student community centers at UC Berkeley and the University of Denver and learn about inclusive design tools used during our master planning work with the North Orange County Community College District.
