Architecture isn't about one or two things-it's about everything. It weaves together form and function, space and light, art and science, material and craft. It entwines us with our world, with each other, with history and culture, with the natural systems that sustain us all. But architecture has even greater purpose: to shape a resilient, zero-carbon future, enabling all species on our planet to thrive; to advance social justice, celebrating the rich diversity of the human condition, serving, and inspiring; to build equitable communities that provide safe, healthy and dignified housing for all; to create inspiring places to teach and learn, preparing young people to prosper on a rapidly changing planet; and to preserve the embodied carbon and the embodied culture of old buildings, crafting meaningful dialogues with time.
