With so many designers who dedicate their work to tackling society's most pressing problems, it can be tricky to select only one winner for a top social impact award like the Curry Stone Design Prize. So for 2017, the Curry Stone Foundation decided to change things up a bit. Instead of awarding only one winner, they will announce a total of 100 Social Design Practices and/or Individuals as a member of the Social Design Circle, which acknowledges the most socially engaged practices. 

New members will be announced every month in relation to the issue that the Prize is addressing for that particular month. For February, the Prize asked: “Is The Right To Housing Real?”. Upcoming topics later this year include “Can Design Challenge Inequality?”, “How Do We Design With Scarcity?”, “Does Design Create Politics or Vice Versa?”, and more.

Seven new Social Design Circle members were revealed for February. Learn more about them below.

Asian Coalition for Housing Rights.

Asian Coalition for Housing Rights: A regional network of grassroots community organizations, NGOs and professionals who are actively involved with urban poor development processes in Asian cities, including initiatives in Thailand, India, The Philippines, Cambodia, and Nepal.
