EQxDHackathon at A'18 Conference on Architecture in NYC

These are extraordinary times for our country and also our profession. Now more than ever, Architects need to be agile, open-thinking change agents while articulating core values and advocating for just living environments that our communities need and deserve. Future architects will need to develop "HACK" skills in order to adapt with the hyper-rapid speed of today's technology advancements. We recognize the need to engage all generations of professionals in this discussion. Our 4th EQxDHackathon will fund 10 Scholarships for Students, Emerging Professionals and Young Architects in this year's topic "The New Urban Agenda".
