In the Public Interest: Redefining the Architect’s Role and Responsibility showcases innovative architectural practices that reimagine the architect’s contribution toward the public good. In concert with this exhibition, the BSA Foundation’s next Designing Boston panel delves into what it means to practice public interest and publicly engaged architecture. Panelists discuss their own work to explore the goals of public interest design and showcase inspiring projects near and far. With the City of Boston continuing to develop at a rapid pace, the speakers consider the public’s voice in shaping change and the architect’s role in this process. 

The Designing Boston Series provides a forum to discuss current trends and concerns in architecture and urban planning that may shape Boston’s future. This event is free and open to the public.
