ABOUT SERVICES PROJECTS INSIGHTS CAREERS CONTACT US INDUSTRY TRENDS Authenticity of Place OCTOBER 12, 2021 | WRITTEN BY: TRAVIS MATHEWS More important than ever, is a focus on where we live, work and play. As design professionals and those who have a direct impact on our communities – how can we not only react, but also better prepare for these disruptions to develop, maintain, and enhance Happy, Healthy and Authentic Places? These are massive ideas that can be overwhelming! Our intent through this conversation is to explore the basic components of a Happy, Healthy Place and Authenticity, explore some of the hurdles/challenges that we are facing, and share ideas/opportunities for the future.
