“The majority of the world's designers focus all their efforts on developing products and services exclusively for the richest 10% of the world's customers. Nothing less than a revolution in design is needed to reach the other 90%.” Dr. Paul Polak, International Development Enterprises
Why Architecture Needs A Social Conscience
“Social Impact”
WHAT IS SOCIAL IMPACT ? “Social impact” is used to define actions which have a positive impact on communities. It’s also related to “social good”, but the change is more radical and something we should all be striving to achieve
WHAT IS SOCIAL IMPACT DESIGN? A simple definition of social impact design is “design that seeks to solve humanitarian issues such as improving living conditions for its beneficiaries.”
