Health, safety and welfare issues extend to wellbeing. As architects, our work impacts people spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. We have the ability to be unflinching advocates who catalyze positive change- who's in?
- Architecture is advocacy. Never walk away from your power to have a positive impact
- Get the credentials you need (license at a minimum) so that you have the authority and agency to take a stand.
- Help develop or evaluate codes and standards as well as local zoning or housing policies.
- Take it meta by looking at issues that are bigger than a particular project.
- Understand how decisions are made and co-create priorities with your clients, including establishing non-negotiables.
- Test new ideas through simulations or augmented reality to overcome fear of change.
- Tie project goals to ROI by using metrics your client already relies upon and showing how design decisions can improve them.
Stay Inspired,
Angela
