Architecture is Advocacy: Don’t Mute Your Mike
Manage episode 342008936 series 2923058
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
