The BSA is pleased to announce that it will be assisting all five finalists in its Request for Innovation (RFI) process in advancing their projects. Each initiative, which is aimed at addressing equity and climate challenges in the built environment, will receive tailored assistance based on its needs, which might include funding, making connections with architects and others, etc. All five projects will benefit from BSA staff support, including facilitation, project management, impact evaluation, and the curation of ideas and approaches across the projects. The goal of these initiatives is to experiment and synthesize learnings on how architects and others in the AEC community can most effectively engage with communities to address their built environment needs.
