Yesterday we had the opportunity to share with a Japanese student who reached out to us a few of London's best built environment examples. (Note: don't want to bore anyone here, hence I've selected some photos of places I've not shared previously)
The active involvement of the industry preserving heritage, of the communities shaping of their built environment and of architects in raising awareness with the next generations were a few of the things that seemed to impress the student. And looking at his reaction from the outside made me think...
When you are in the thick of it seeking to build a more inclusive world, and more diverse profession, it is only too easy to see how much more needs to be done and forget to appreciate the efforts made by so many ( including you).. until a new pair of eyes provides you with a much needed perspective.
