SPARC Design Forum: Discussion on How the Current Economy Impacts Design & Future of the Practice
As the economy and market dynamics shift, architects are facing new challenges and opportunities in delivering exceptional design within budget. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on how we can create high-value design solutions that align with today’s economic realities—and shape the future of the profession.
At this forum, we’ll explore the concept of the value proposition—what makes design truly valuable, how we define it in a rapidly changing market, and how architects can respond to broader economic and cultural shifts. How can we ensure good design is accessible across the economic spectrum? How do we take back control of design, especially in the residential market where general contractors often dominate? And what will the practice of architecture look like moving forward?
