Mindful of the economic and diverse cultural impacts, industry professionals are constantly striving to create design solutions to advocate for social and environmental sustainability through building equity in design. Join us for a structured panel discussion as we navigate the future together, hosted by our IIDA Ohio/Kentucky Chapter.
Announcing our third speaker for this Roundtable Event: Amanda Markovic, AIA
As a Principal at GBBN, Amanda is driven by design’s power to transform experience and empower communities in urban centers, the workplace, and academia. Her passion for libraries has led to award-winning renovations for the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, Knoxville and a reimagining of the Cincinnati Public Library, Deer Park Next Generation Library. Her passion for equitable development has guided her community-centered approach to 5th & Dinwiddie, a mixed-use, Passive House project in Pittsburgh's Uptown neighborhood. A great communicator who facilitates productive discussions among multiple project stakeholders, Amanda's desire to connect everyone to good design has led her to become a leader in the American Institute of Architects Blueprint for Better Communities (B4B) initiative.
