The Beyond the Built Environment initiative seeks to engage with communities through architecture, advocating for equitable, reflectively diverse environments.
It was founded by Pascale Sablan, AIA – who is the 315th black female architect to receive licensure in the United States. A core goal of Beyond the Built Environment is to profile and raise aware of 250 diverse designers through the SAY IT LOUD Exhibitions series, held at a number of spaces and galleries internationally including in Georgia, Illinois, New York, in London, UK and in the visitors center of the UN.
We were delighted to be asked to share work by Zoë Berman, with the Reading Retreat designed with architect Benedetta Rogers, being featured. The London leg of the Beyond the Built Environment exhibition was held at the RIBA, London. Zoë was interviewed about practice and the campaigning work of Part W.
