151: Archtivist: how to balance business and values in architecture? (guest: Nyasha Harper-Michon)

Welcome to the 151. episode of Urbcast, in which we talk about: Archtivist: how to balance business and values in architecture? 🧐 Why should we talk about it? Architecture is a powerful tool. Let’s talk about balancing business and values in architecture, from an Archtivist’s perspective. How to make ethical decisions, inspire future architects, advocate for positive change, but get new clients and commissions? It feels like the UIA World Congress of Architects 2023 happened a long time ago, but it's important to keep some of the highlights alive. One of them was definitely meeting and having an inspiring conversation with Nyasha Harper-Michon an extraordinary architect, advocate for inclusion and sustainability, founder of Archtivism and Business Developer at UNStudio. Join me and Nyasha as she presents her story behind Archtivism—an inspiring, purpose-driven approach to positive change in architecture. Get inspired to speak up, find your own niche, prioritize well-being, and challenge the status quo of the architecture and construction industry. Some topics of today: Unfolding Archtivism How to fight for one’s own principles The challenges in the architecture industry especially for young people Balance between advancing business interests and staying true to your values You get to know more about the guest: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Nyasha You can listen to the episode at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠urbcast.pl/en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ You will find more useful links at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/urbcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music: spear_oh
