Architects are required to communicate in many different ways: internally about a project’s progress, externally in client presentations, on a community level while doing research, and even on a national or global level, when approached by the press or when seeking opportunities to elaborate on the significance and meaning of their work. Architects are also recipients of an untold amount of information from outside sources, including the clients and communities they serve, contemporary media, and their own peers and professional organizations. Our Winter 2025 edition asks architects to consider issues of communication in their practice, and weigh in on the importance of adapting to a world that invites them to elevate their own voices, while simultaneously synthesizing a wide variety of viewpoints and ethical goals.
