Community Centered Design for Underserved Communities
2025-05-21 17:30 - 19:00 | NV
How can design confront inequality? What does it mean to build with—not just for—a community?
In honor of Affordable Housing Month, join AIA Las Vegas for an evening with nationally acclaimed architect Jonathan Tate, whose bold, context-driven work is reshaping how we think about affordable housing and equity in the built environment.
Tate will share powerful case studies and design strategies that uplift communities too often left behind—showing how intentional design can reduce displacement, restore dignity, and create lasting impact.
You’ll explore:

Innovative approaches to affordable housing that prioritize health and well-being

Planning models rooted in community voice and long-term resilience

The role of sustainability and design in advancing equity

What’s possible when we rethink who design is for—and how it’s done

This is more than a lecture—it’s a call to action. Don’t miss this chance to be part of the conversation on how design can help transform lives.
