What is Architecture?
What is architecture? How do we define architecture as a profession, as a practice, as a concept? I’ve been talking a lot about this lately with colleagues on this topic, so I wanted to attempt a definition of architecture, in my opinion. I have a feeling this is going to be a controversial stance.

The Perspective of Work-Life Balance
Right out of the gate I’m going to say that you have to craft your own particular description of what work-life balance means in order to achieve it. It has been incredibly interesting to see how the emails and questions relating specifically to this topic have exponentially increased over the last 4 years, and I am at a loss as to why they are specifically coming in now. One of the items that I think is contributing to this current work-life malaise is based on how good the economy is currently for the architectural profession.

Another consideration of what is contributing to this conversation is the COVID/work-from-home hangover. Employees have become accustomed to the flexibility that is frequently associated with working from home and as many firms start coming back into the office, there are some people that are very unhappy about the loss of this unintentional benefit.
