Architecture is a complex process influenced by interrelated factors such as building codes, economic considerations, and the system of competitions. At the core of architectural practice is the collaboration between diverse stakeholders including clients, developers, investors, administrations, and multidisciplinary teams of professionals. Today, this notion of cocreation is expanding as members of local communities are increasingly encouraged to play active roles in the design and construction of the architectural projects that serve their neighborhoods.
Amid the climate crisis and its wide-ranging social, economic, and ecological consequences, voluntarily reducing consumption in all aspects of our lives is essential. By cutting down and scaling back, we can begin to rethink our relationship with nature, a crucial step in minimizing the use of our planet's resources. Design strategies that prioritize supply chain traceability, address the growing rural-urban divide, and promote building only what's necessary will help us to ensure a sustainable future.
As we move into the new year, we invite you to delve into a selection of articles from 2024, a cross section of opinions and proposals reimagining how we inhabit the world. Each bimonthly edition of our digital magazine focuses on a specific topic and we ask leading architects, urbanists, and designers to write about creative and actionable ideas that are generating positive environmental and social change. In the coming months, we look forward to sharing more insights into innovative projects and initiatives for now and the future from our global network.
There is a growing concern among architects and designers about the need to pay attention to the members of our communities who traditionally have been marginalized. How can we design for a world where concern, acceptance, and reconciliation are key values? Taking an active role in initiatives such as restorative justice and engaging in projects that provide housing, healthcare, and education for the most vulnerable citizens are examples of how we can lead the way in creating an inclusive and equitable society.
