Architecture Without Borders Quebec's (AWBQ) "Architecture + Homelessness: Inclusive Practices for a Supportive City" catalogue is now available in English.
The increase in homelessness in urban areas was worsened by the pandemic and as a result, housing, migratory, and climatic crises, are a challenge faced by cities worldwide.
AWBQ noted that it’s necessary now more than ever to study and transform cities by engaging the practice of architecture to ensure that they are more inclusive and supportive of people experiencing homelessness, or who are at risk of homelessness.
“This catalogue is part of AWBQ’s commitment to inclusive design and social justice,” said Bruno Demers, executive director of AWBQ. “By offering it in English, it aims to facilitate cross-cultural exchange and inspire collaborative efforts on a global scale.”
