Honestly, more starchitects and architects, in general, should get into designing accessible, affordable housing and infrastructure. I've seen enough badly designed condo style apartments designed for people who make upwards of $3K (USD) per month. I tell you, that shit is expensive and wouldn't even survive a hurricane. If you make affordable housing that looks nice, AND is well built from materials made to last (i.e. bricks, cinder blocks, steel, etc.), sustainable and community oriented, then you have already helped overcome several barriers faced by people living in poverty.
