Something has been on my mind. The false promise of computers has been that you can do more, faster. But we still work 40+ hours a week. I work for a firm that does some very high end renovations, and we often get a hold of the original drawings for the house. Most of the time, these were done by hand in the 90’s or earlier. The drawings are very efficient and rely pretty heavily on the builder to imply some details.

Sustainability begins with a conversation, and acquiring customer buy-in is entirely dependent on how the conversation is framed. Clients may not see sustainability as a priority out of fear of operational costs and quality. While these are legitimate concerns, it is our responsibility as architects to listen and foster a collaborative culture that answers client issues while also reducing our carbon footprint.
