“Do you actually need a building?” may seem like an unusual question from an architect. But it’s a central one for Patricia Gruits (B.S. Arch ’04, M.Arch ’06), whose education at Taubman College, where she was a Taubman Scholar, taught her an openness and way of thinking based on leveraging design to solve problems, not just design buildings.

In 2021, I had the honor of being invited to participate in a radio talk focused on the urban landscape and the role of citizens within the city. The discussion revolved around the various roles that individuals play in shaping our urban environment. This thought-provoking conversation sparked numerous questions, some of which directly related to my ongoing research on the demarginalization of architecture's significance. The opportunity to engage in this dialogue allowed me to delve deeper into the intricate dynamics that exist within our cities. It shed light on the multifaceted nature of urban life and the crucial role that architecture plays in shaping our surroundings. The questions raised during the talk further fueled my passion for exploring the ways in which architecture can positively impact our communities. Furthermore, the need to thoroughly investigate the real role of Architecture and the role of Architects has become increasingly apparent. It is evident that there is still a considerable distance to cover, but every single step taken contributes significantly towards shaping a more promising future. <iframe allowfullscreen width=100% height=140px src="https://lnkd.in/e-nSF6WA"></iframe>
