The Architect with Social Consciousness

Send us Fan MailThere are four aspects that is needed in order to create the architect that possesses social-consciousness and it starts at architectural school. In conjunction with the upcoming international webinar on "Reclaim the City" on Friday, 20th November 2020 which is the second in a series jointly organized by USM and DSLU, I will speak on the architect's role in righting and designing with empathy for all and creating inclusive design in the cities. I am suggesting that as an architectural education activist, the training of the architect needs to be oriented to a more site-context driven approach in the architectural design studios rather than focusing on form-making processes or architectural fantasies projects. I will introduce the four aspects of: activist, enabler, collaborator and enterprise to be main proponents of the model of the architect in the 21st century, for the betterment of the society.Support the showDo subscribe for premium content and special features which will help to support and sustain Talk Architecture podcast on a more in-depth explanation on design thesis and processes.
