Equity, sustainability, the future of our profession, the future of our education, and where we think we are going if nothing changes! These are just some of the topics we hope to discuss. The list is not extensive. It is just the beginning.

Are there any other issues in architecture you want to discuss?

What do tuberculosis sanatoriums, baby cages, and open air schools have in common?

This first explainer in the sustainability series of explainers looks at the theme of air. Good air quality and access in buildings can benefit our mental and physical health, but the design of air is often overlooked. Are the shifts in priorities due to the pandemic an opportunity to change that?

The first practice explainer highlights the position of women in the architectural profession. The achievements of talented women architects are either not mentioned, overshadowed or often mentioned as merely a source of inspiration to the male architect. It took years of hard work for women to achieve recognition in architecture.

So, where are women architects? Why don't we see them more?
