The BSA has embarked on a new vision to advance innovation in the built environment while continuing to support the profession through education, networking, and advocacy. To launch this effort, the BSA is putting out a call for ideas–a Request for Innovations–with the goal of making changes to the art and practice of architecture that have strong potential to address equity and climate.

On Thursday evening, members of the BSA community gathered at the space for a town hall focused on the organization’s continued work on climate and equity issues. The event served as a way to update members on the BSA’s strategy work while providing an opportunity for the community to share ideas and connect with one another.
