As a practicioners who teach, we are committed to the next generation of architects. In 2018, Sameena founded and now directs the B.lab program at the Academy of Art University in SF. Together with other faculty, the program has built 7 projects throughout the Bay Area.
All this work involved robust partnerships with neighbors, kids and local nonprofits.
At its core, the B.lab is a design build program promoting spatial justice for local communities and advocacy for future designers. Through radical listening and co-creation, we empower and hope to bring postive change to the built environment.
