Arkiboks Boktalk 3

I am inviting everyone to Arkiboks Boktalk 3 (originally scheduled on February 5, but postponed to a date yet to be determined by comments to this post). Proposed topic: Architects for a Cause. It would be great if participants can bring someone involved in community-oriented projects in architecture, planning, and development.

At 2:12 AM, ben tumbling said...: As I commented before, I think that "architects for a cause" as a topic for discussion is too broad.

Cutting the size of the topic down to just "comunity related projects" still makes for a formidable topic. It can still be narrowed down.

Unless of course the talk is actually more exploratory than expository, then a broad topic is appropriate. That certainly opens up other talking points.

You might actually want to expand the idea of "causes" that architects take upon themselves.

Are the causes we subscribe too always altruistic and community oriented? Do they need to be? As an architect, what do I want to effect and why?.

The "why" that we ask ourselves, I believe, will eventually lead us to our "causes".
