A new movement aims to change the world through free architecture.
They are challenging their entire profession to take the high design
standards usually reserved for elite clients and systematically
deliver them to society's most vulnerable: to design hospital rooms
that give the chronically ill a sense of control over their lives,
libraries that will make children spend hours with a book, or simple
structures that grant working immigrants new dignity. In other words,
to convince ordinary people and those on the margins that architects
don't just make giant, radical shapes. They can make giant, radical change
