March 17, 2021March Meeting Canceled
The chapter is currently interviewing for the open co-chair positions for the newly relaunched AIANY Architecture for Justice committee. The March meeting has been canceled but we look forward to resuming meetings in April.
Architecture for Justice
Among the action items outlined in AIA New York's September 2020 position statement on the Criminal Justice System was the re-envisioning of the AIANY Architecture for Justice Committee. The newly launched committee will develop programming and advocacy to help mitigate the intrinsic racism within the American criminal justice system, with a particular focus on exploring architecture’s role in oppression. We anticipate that the committee’s efforts will explore how architecture and architects can affect broader social justice goals.
