Inspiring architect Danish Kurani is not only rethinking the design of our educational institutions, but innovating the entire concept as well. A true disruptor, Danish has a simple mission to build projects with empathy and humanity by abashedly challenging the status quo. Whether he’s spearheading and enriching designs for Google’s Code Next Stem Lab in Oakland, California, Black Girls Code in New York, or the upcoming Riverbend school in India, Danish says he wants to solve society’s greatest problems with socially aware, inclusive, and democratic design solutions. They are using design for good, he says, to build things that make people’s lives better.
