The architecture industry is in crisis The average overtime of an employee is greater than the profits a company/practice makes Therefore as a business it is simply unsustainable

40% of global carbon emissions come from architects. It is therefore our duty as architects to use this risk as an opportunity to build back better, more efficient and technologically advanced buildings that promote value-added economic growth, rather than perpetuate the folly infinite, unregulated growth on a finite planet. We can and should embrace micro solar models of production, passivhaus models of consumption and enforce these with building codes.

It's an elitist industry that has failed to achieve it's potential because design services are only affordable for wealthy people. Also, there have been really amazing innovations in architecture.

40% of global carbon emissions come from architects. It is therefore our duty as architects to use this risk as an opportunity to build back better, more efficient and technologically advanced buildings that promote value-added economic growth, rather than perpetuate the folly infinite, unregulated growth on a finite planet.

The profession and its approach to design needs to be more understood by the layman in order to be better appreciated, and better compensated. A lot of good architecture ideas simply cannot be understood by the majority of people because it just has a way too complicated way of talking about something, possibly stemming from the kind of in depth blend of philosophy/grand political idea and design a lot of schools tend to lean towards. At the same time, the practical things in the job we should be respected for, like the execution of building law, control of public safety and project management is heavily suppressed in favour of artist complex, and in my opinion it is because of this that our professional salary is stagnant. We need to find a way to make explanation of space and execution of design clear and concise for the layman to understand without feeling like we are just babbling, and to make our essential roles more apparent, not just design for everything.

It's an elitist industry that has failed to achieve it's potential because design services are only affordable for wealthy people. Also, there have been really amazing innovations in architecture. Unfortunately, the places and spaces that could benefit most from them are largely ignored due to financial reasons.
New “sustainable” buildings cost more in natural resources than they make up in operational savings. We shouldn’t build new at all while we have a vast supply of existing building stock that can be improved, and we should never demo a building unless it’s literally a danger to the public.

Concrete and glass squares are BORING! Watching architecture shows of homes is like "oh wow... yet another stark and cold concrete block bunker... how novel." I want to feel cozy at home, not like I'm in a parking garage with floor to ceiling windows.

I don’t care for Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry. Their styles are visually impressive, but ugly AF if you ask me.

40% of global carbon emissions come from architects. It is therefore our duty as architects to use this risk as an opportunity to build back better, more efficient and technologically advanced buildings that promote value-added economic growth, rather than perpetuate the folly infinite, unregulated growth on a finite planet. We can and should embrace micro solar models of production, passivhaus models of consumption and enforce these with building codes.

If you didn’t like it until after you took a class on it, you don’t get to act surprised when most people think it sucks.
I hate the bowtie/scarf, frizzy hair, and round glasses look.

40% of global carbon emissions come from architects. It is therefore our duty as architects to use this risk as an opportunity to build back better, more efficient and technologically advanced buildings that promote value-added economic growth, rather than perpetuate the folly infinite, unregulated growth on a finite planet. We can and should embrace micro solar models of production, passivhaus models of consumption and enforce these with building codes.
The style of putting an open dining room right next to the front entry is a terrible style that needs to go away.

The profession and its approach to design needs to be more understood by the layman in order to be better appreciated, and better compensated. A lot of good architecture ideas simply cannot be understood by the majority of people because it just has a way too complicated way of talking about something, possibly stemming from the kind of in depth blend of philosophy/grand political idea and design a lot of schools tend to lean towards. At the same time, the practical things in the job we should be respected for, like the execution of building law, control of public safety and project management is heavily suppressed in favour of artist complex, and in my opinion it is because of this that our professional salary is stagnant. We need to find a way to make explanation of space and execution of design clear and concise for the layman to understand without feeling like we are just babbling, and to make our essential roles more apparent, not just design for everything.

New “sustainable” buildings cost more in natural resources than they make up in operational savings. We shouldn’t build new at all while we have a vast supply of existing building stock that can be improved, and we should never demo a building unless it’s literally a danger to the public.

Concrete and glass squares are BORING! Watching architecture shows of homes is like "oh wow... yet another stark and cold concrete block bunker... how novel." I want to feel cozy at home, not like I'm in a parking garage with floor to ceiling windows.

I don’t care for Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry. Their styles are visually impressive, but ugly AF if you ask me.
