Architects and designers play a critical role in addressing whole-systems change, including ending the oppressive and punitive approach of our criminal justice system. Designing Justice + Designing Spaces is an architecture and real estate nonprofit that ignites radical imagination to build an ecosystem of care. This talk by co-founder and executive director Deanna Van Buren, will feature completed, current, and future projects that illustrate how and what we need to build to address the root causes of mass incarceration, rather than using prisons, jails, or courthouses to implement punishments. “Designing for Abolition” presents real-world examples of how architects can better serve our communities. Following the lecture, Andrea James, Executive Director of The National Council of Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls, will join Deanna on stage for a conversation and Q&A.

Maurice D. Cox is the Emma Bloomberg Professor in Residence of Urban Planning and Design at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Prior to joining the GSD faculty, Cox was the director of planning and development for the City of Detroit (2015-2019) and Commissioner of Planning and Development for the City of Chicago (2019-2023), where he focused on the challenges facing contemporary urban revitalization. Cox is an urban designer acclaimed for his ability to merge architecture, design, and politics in pursuit of design excellence and the equitable development of cities. His professional biography offers a new model for what a designer in society can be, demonstrating that planning, architecture, and design operate within a sociopolitical sphere. To that end, his career spans public service, private practice, and higher education, including his tenure as mayor of Charlottesville, Virginia; as Design Director for the National Endowment for the Arts under two presidents; and as a tenured faculty member at the University of Virginia and Tulane University. Cox received a Bachelor of Architecture from the Cooper Union and a 2005 Loeb Fellowship from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.
