Very excited to see @AIANational stepping up for human rights! Architects should never kill or torture people... and now members won't. Thank you AIA!

Excellent news! The American Institute of Architects approved new ethical rules prohibiting its members from knowingly designing spaces intended for execution and torture, including indefinite or prolonged solitary confinement of prisoners. aia.org/press-releases/63566… @AIANational

jails (not just solitary confinement) are torture chambers that #architects cannot in good conscience design. @BCLeeJr and @RosaSheng said it How will we advocate for restoration and healing in our #designjustice work?

If you're a journalist and want to get a little activism in at work, why not call the AIA and ask for a reply to @kimmelman's column on why members are still allowed to design torture and execution chambers? try BoardofDirectors@aia.org, media@aia.org or a direct contact.

There’s No Reason for an Architect to Design a Death Chamber (Published 2020)

As the country grapples with racial justice, architects should finally take a stand on the most barbaric aspects of a biased prison system.

"Stop working on spaces which disproportionately impact African Americans" says Michael Ford

Architects should stop designing jails and prisons, which are representations of systemic racism in the US, if they want to really impact the fight for racial equality, says Michael Ford.

When you compare U.S. police killings to other wealthy countries, it is clear that frequent police killings are not just an inevitable part of law enforcement. prisonpolicy.org/blog/2020/0…

Not just “a few bad apples”: U.S. police kill civilians at much higher rates than other countries

Police violence is a systemic problem in the U.S., not simply incidental, and it happens on a scale far greater than other wealthy nations.
