Many architects and designers dedicate their skills and creativities to help and enrich communities around the world. This year perhaps more than ever, we need to support each other to get through these tough times and the creativity of the design community can make a difference. The AIALA Practice committee will present a virtual panel that shares projects making positive impacts on the wellbeing of communities around the world. We hope this event will inspire you and you will join the panelists to make philanthropy a part of your practice.
