Pascale Sablan is one of the many architects committed to addressing the inequitable disparities in the way we practice architecture. As the founder and executive director of the non-profit Beyond the Built Environment, she has been able to help elevate “the identities and contributions of minority architects and designers through exhibitions, curated lectures, and documentaries that testify to the provided value of their built work and its spatial impact.” Beyond the Built Environment aims to “educate the masses through formal and informal learning opportunities that introduce architecture as a bridge to fill the gaps of inequity. We collaborate with community stakeholders and organizations to crowdsource information and amplify opportunities to advocate for equitable and reflectively diverse environments. ”
