The Portland, OR, chapter of the American Institute of Architects has sent a letter of support for ADPSR's petition seeking to ban the design of execution chambers and supermax prisons for prolonged solitary confinement to the national directors of AIA. "Some buildings do intentionally lead to human rights violations, and even though this is a very small number of buildings, it is of great concern given the gravity of the outcomes, including cruelty, degradation, and death. We do not enjoy dwelling on these topics, but when confronted with them, we find that a response is warranted," wrote chapter President Stefee Knudsen, AIA. See the whole letter on the campaign Endorsements page. (http://www.adpsr.org/home/endorsements1) Thank you AIA Portland!
