“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.

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.”
