4 ways to get ready for a meaningful International Design Day.
International Design Day is April 27.

The day was introduced in 1995 by the International Council of Graphic Design Association to recognize the importance of design and its impact on shaping everyday life. 

It’s a global celebration that brings together designers from all disciplines to share their ideas, showcase their work, and inspire others to make a positive difference through design.

While there may be some good arguments in favor of not requiring an architectural license to design single-family homes and townhouses, whether or not it is an excellent example of social equity is up for debate.

The AIBD Board of Directors has chosen social equity to focus on this International Design Day, and they invite everyone to participate in the exploration.
