We are shaped and molded into being the purveyors of ideas that can have a positive influence not only on the built environment, but society in general. By the very skills and talents which architects and designers possess, we are inherent problem solvers.</p> <p>In fact, one of our country’s greatest politicians, Thomas Jefferson, believed that architecture embodied the soul of his new country–a building was a metaphor for American ideology, the process of construction equal to the task of building a nation.</p> <p>So why aren’t there more architects and designers working on the national and global stage to solve pressing social, environmental and economic challenges? Currently, lawyers comprise 37 percent of all U.S. senators and nearly 24 percent of all U.S. congressmen. Banking and business occupations account for 20 percent of the Senate and 22 percent of the House. According to the AIA, in the last 50 years, only one architect has served in a national capacity: U.S. Congressman Richard Swett, who represented New Hampshire from 1990 to 1994.</p> <p>Why aren’t there more architects on a national or global leadership level influencing the policy that ensures positive change?</p> <p><a href="http://www.archdaily.com/364874/where-are-the-architect-heroes/">[read more…]</a></p>http://blog.r3darch.com/post/49594160806http://blog.r3darch.com/post/49594160806Sat, 04 May 2013 10:31:33 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/88f82cc96a0aa35d5b3b46a350f82f54/tumblr_mma2rk9pNz1qaxlowo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://archinect.com/news/article/72420423/ten-top-images-on-archinect-s-details-pinterest-board">Ten Top Images on Archinect’s “Details” Pinterest Board</a></p>http://blog.r3darch.com/post/49593826146http://blog.r3darch.com/post/49593826146Sat, 04 May 2013 10:26:07 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a1ca613586466868fc20767b2d1aac6b/tumblr_mm95dnFMO81qb3jnco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://cabbagerose.tumblr.com/post/49559706523/oak-pass-guest-house-walker-workshop-design-build">cabbagerose</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>oak pass guest house/walker workshop design build</p> <p>via: <a href="http://www.walkerworkshop.com/Oak-Pass-Guest">walkerworkshop</a></p> </blockquote>http://blog.r3darch.com/post/49570191619http://blog.r3darch.com/post/49570191619Sat, 04 May 2013 00:51:22 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ced5efd7af6e55de3e2eafa908d8cf8c/tumblr_mlqob4bxep1qz5qj3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://nilsgeylen.tumblr.com/post/48747376892">nilsgeylen</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Nicolas Schuybroek</p> </blockquote>http://blog.r3darch.com/post/49570129724http://blog.r3darch.com/post/49570129724Sat, 04 May 2013 00:50:20 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a2b18f136043f2d7e54e0466a733b50b/tumblr_mm6ii85yKO1qark2ko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://nycgov.tumblr.com/post/49442850676/last-section-of-the-spire-being-hoisted-to-the-top">nycgov</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>Last section of the spire being hoisted to the top of 1 WTC.
