Aligning Architecture with Social Change
The first step of design is listening. As we design spaces and places as individuals, how are calls for systemic change galvanizing communities, place-makers, and schools at Yale?
In this event recording, Yale Women in Architecture (YWA) and the Yale Schwarzman Center (YSC) facilitate a cross-disciplinary dialogue with a diverse group of panelists from the fields of architecture, the performing arts, urban ecology, and environmental studies. During the session, participants share perspectives, pose challenges, and discuss case studies on how built environments can listen and respond to the communities that shape them. Panelists include:
- Sari Chang MArch ’93, principal of JACOBSCHANG Architecture
- Naomi Darling MArch ’06, founding principal of Naomi Darling Architecture
- Colleen Murphy-Dunning, director of the Hixon Center for Urban Ecology and the Urban Resources Initiative, Yale School of Environment
The discussion is moderated by Jessica Kung Dreyfus BA Arch ’04 and Jennifer Harrison Newman YSD ’11.
