Addressing the sheer scale of the triple challenges of environmental sustainability, in the form of climate change; the social, in the form of class, gender, and racial inequality; and the cultural, in terms of identity, exclusion, and prejudice, in particular against First Nations Peoples, is a seemingly overwhelming task for architecture.
