First sentence: From the first emergence of architects as creators of public space in the Renaissance to more recent 20th-century institutions of socially engaged design, such as Walter Gropius's Bauhaus and Le Corbusier's Congres Internationale d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM), architects have understood the role of design as a concerted contribution to civic engagement and public interest.
