Embracing Carl Jung’s insight: ‘Where wisdom reigns, there is no conflict between thinking and feeling.’ In design and architecture, this reminds us that a harmonious space seamlessly blends intellect and emotion. When wisdom guides our creative process, the synergy of thoughtful planning and emotional resonance can give rise to environments that not only please the eye but also nurture the soul. Let’s design with wisdom, where the union of thinking and feeling transforms spaces into true reflections of our human experience. 🙏 #DesignWisdom #ArchitecturalHarmony

Jonathan Fashanu of DASH is at the forefront of advocating for collaboration across various specialisms in architecture. He points out the growing trends: "It's already happening. We have the ‘Architects Climate Action Network’ (ACAN), ‘Architects Declare’, and the Green Register. The RIBA is issuing guides on ethics, health & safety, and climate change. There's also the PARADIGM Network focusing on inclusion, and the London School of Architecture's practice network, which encourages collaboration." This movement signifies a shift from working in silos to a more unified approach in the architectural community. In addition to these collaborations, the podcast series ‘Architects of Ambition’ (launching soon) highlights how small architectural practices in the UK are revolutionising residential architecture. Their contribution goes beyond mere building; they are key in bringing innovation, sustainability, and personalisation into home design. #ArchitectureRevolution #InnovativeDesign #SustainableArchitecture #ArchitectsOfAmbition #JonathanFashanu #UKArchitecture #EcoFriendlyLiving #DesignThinking #FutureOfArchitecture #ResidentialRevolution

Since design school at Arizona State University, I've never understood why the architecture practice is so removed from the people who ultimately inhabit the space. Design choices that don't work stick out like sore thumbs to me in the built environment. Of course there are exceptions to this, like the growing team of anthropologists and design thinkers at HGA. Last night I was a guest lecturer for a class, Gradient Spaces, led by Iro Armeni at Stanford University. Iro is inviting students to question typical approaches to creating spaces, especially involving the user and occupant perspectives from the start. "Gradient spaces are physical spaces that blend from the 100% physical (real reality) to the 100% digital (virtual reality) and anything in between. Students are exploring design thinking, architectural design and technological design (Mixed reality) to create cross-disciplinary realities for users." Yes, we dove into an intro to design, AND they landed with their project teams and work applying methods that challenged them to integrate the user perspective and stoked their curiosity about how to engage them as they create these spaces and experiences of the future. I'm a glutton for a debrief and these analog bits have me all 😍 #mixedreality #design #humancentereddesign #reflection #usercenteredarchitecture #collaboration #architecture #anthropologists

We believe that spaces should be designed where people can thrive. In order to do so, the intricate relationship between man and the environment must be understood. From macro to micro levels, encompassing built and unbuilt spaces, availability of resources, amongst others, what influences human behaviour, and can architecture play a role in shaping neighbourhoods that foster community interaction? Partner and Principal Architect Rahul Kadri has shared his insights on designing neighbourhoods that promote social engagement and a sense of belonging.

Healing architecture | How do we design hospitals to be less scary for children and young people? To de-dramatise the strange situation of coming and sometimes staying at a hospital for a longer period, it is important to create an environment where children and their relatives can feel well, safe and live as close to an everyday life as possible. Lienelle Geldenhuys, Associate Director at White Arkitekter’s London Studio, gives five tips on how to design hospital environments that are less intimidating for children and young people. #whitearkitekter #architecture #healingarchitecture

How do designers rethink design processes to produce works that hold space for the diversity of people using them? Out now, EMPATHIC DESIGN brings together leaders in architecture, urban design, planning, and design activism to answer questions like this. islandpress.org/empathic

Happy and proud to see this joint work published with our NET4Age-Friendly colleagues as the follow-up of the session we held at #ICAUD2021 - The 4th International Conference on Architecture and Urban Design. Back in 2021 we were reflecting on the theme of the New Normality, which was caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This global event that affected the world implied some huge reflections in many of the design fields, forcing architects and engineers, urban planners, and designers to rethink many of the consolidated knowledge in the designing approaches. Some of that changes were temporary and went back in a short time; meanwhile, others seem to have become permanent and able to challenge our personal and social mindset, both as designers, as well as end-users. Those changes stress the importance of a rising transdisciplinary interaction among the diverse fields of knowledge, which has affected the whole people real-life realm at a global scale - the perfect context for #SHAFE!!
