Los Angeles architect Roland A. Wiley, AIA will discuss his passion for revitalizing underserved urban communities

Roland Wiley is the founder and managing partner of the Los Angeles firm RAW International. He sees himself as an urban visionary. His 24 years of experience have afforded him the opportunity to plan, design and build urban projects ranging from downtown high-rise commercial development to light rail and bus transit studies. His projects include the Crenshaw Prairie Transit Corridor Major Investment Study which identified the significant potential for revitalization by using regional transit investment as a catalyst for the development of a community.

Wiley has maintained a commitment to his community through volunteer work throughout his career. He has conducted and participated in a series of neighborhood design charettes, including the Leimert Park Village Charette. He is a member of the Junior Achievement African American Advisory Committee and a founding member of the AIA Young Architects Forum.
