Sensitive, progressive Architecture can elevate the status of underprivileged people in society and contribute to progressive social and cultural development.

The inability of the underprivileged to obtain the same luxuries as the privileged results in expansive fissures in the social and economic climate. While these fissures depress the community, they also create an opportunity for (re)invention and ingenuity to propel the status of the relevant group. Architecture that utilizes these opportunities and is aligned with the community's progressive and coherent thought results in the elevated status of these underprivileged people - an empowering condition defiant of the enduring fissures in globalized societies.
