The architectural landscape, as a professional field, is dynamic. The traditional role, much like buildings and homes that have been designed and built for clients, continues to change, evolve, and adapt to its environment and in relationship to people. Educators, practitioners, and industry leaders alike take on the opportunities and challenges of today and tomorrow, in a field that is often misunderstood. It is a profession full of creatives and storytellers, engineers and disruptors, advocates and stewards; people who use architecture and design as a vehicle in which to powerfully transform landscapes and the lives of the people around them.
In this latest edition, Great Lakes By Design Magazine, had the opportunity to speak with a few architects in the region to learn more about their interest and their passion for the profession, the challenges they see facing the industry, and their great hope for the future.
