Featured in Forbes - Woods Bagot's Designer Ronald Oziogu dishes out the benefits of multicultural integration in urban design. “I believe architects need to create spaces where people can see themselves and feel represented, whether through the adaptation of visuals or geometrical representations expressive of multicultural elements and typologies,” Ronald Oziogu tells Forbes. Yet cultural diversity remains a problem among architects. According to Forbes, the representation gap seldom narrows for communities of color.  Forbes contributor Kori Hale argues that engaging diverse communities through mass media efforts and pop culture can also challenge industry diversity disparities. The CultureBanx CEO notes that “Black Americans spend the most time tapped into media and the pop cultural zeitgeist and have made significant contributions to the social fabric of American culture,” so meeting the community at that intersection can help architects build closer connections and integrate the community’s experiences into the environment.  Read the full story: https://bit.ly/3senYhY #woodsbagot #peoplearchitecture

Have a listen to my interview with Anne Lacaton & Jean-Philippe Vassal, 2021 Pritzker Prize Laureates and the Rothwell Program Co-Chairs at the University of Sydney’s School of Architecture, Design and Planning. They suggest architecture is about freedom, generosity, pleasure. Large spaces generate an essential feeling of escape and freedom. Large spaces facilitate appropriation, foster relationships within spaces, to allow for pleasurable situations, to encourage relations between people and promote social life. Enlarging does not mean wasting. Enlarging does not mean costing more. It means inventing space for uses and going beyond the norms and standards which reduce the living space. “TRANSFORMATION IS THE OPPORTUNITY OF DOING MORE AND BETTER WITH WHAT IS ALREADY EXISTING. THE DEMOLISHING IS A DECISION OF EASINESS AND SHORT TERM. IT IS A WASTE OF MANY THINGS—A WASTE OF ENERGY, A WASTE OF MATERIAL, AND A WASTE OF HISTORY. MOREOVER, IT HAS A VERY NEGATIVE SOCIAL IMPACT. FOR US, IT IS AN ACT OF VIOLENCE.” Anne Lacaton & Jean-Philippe Vassal https://lnkd.in/eVZeDEA7

#businessarchitecture When we attach the word #architecture is this symbolic of complexity and, in turn, drive an audience of #technologyexperts? Does the leading word #business lose relevance and meaning because we use "architecture"? Since meeting Terry Roach I have learnt the importance of the two combined, our market is pivoting, changing, gathering momentum by disrupting the norm of #enterprisearchitecture but not ignoring the principles. And, YES, it is lead by #technologyexperts and #businessexperts that understand the gap between business and technology within organisations and by sharing a common goal companies can transition from #goodtogreat (Jim Collins Book 👍🏼... fantastic read) Members and the Leadership of #TCBAF please continue your fantastic pioneering work, #businessleaders globally will undoubtably benefit greatly from your incredible work..🏆
