This panel is a follow up to a previous panel discussion, "Architectural Work and Activism,” which compared educational and professional environments.
This one includes panelists who are testing different approaches to architectural work in firms of various kinds and sizes, in all cases putting in place approaches that offer more reward, relevance, and empowerment.
