2024 West Region Conference – Cultural Crossroads in Education: Ruth Baleiko
“Growing up in India, where sustainability is not always a choice but a solution to insignificant resources, architecture has given me a stronger sense of empathy and empowerment through research and awareness. I love that architecture can serve all demographics – the wealthy, as well as the needy. I see this as an opportunity to add value to a space that should evoke equity and cultural significance no matter who the occupant is.”
