IN MEMORIAM: CARMEN STAN (1980-2022)

Carmen was an instrumental member and Co-Chair of the Equity in Architecture Committee. She was a tireless advocate for women in the field and served with passion, energy, and perspective. An award winning designer, she always found time to set up events and create programs, interview female architects, and attend the Women’s Leadership Summit. Her vibrant personality was a bright spot in any meeting or event she attended. Her wonderful spirit and all she contributed to elevating design and increasing equity in the profession will be greatly missed.
