“Dignity is to design as justice is to law and health is to medicine” – Liz Ogbu
Acknowledging others, their needs, your excesses and helping create space when you see people are limited makes us human. In my work, professional and personal, I aim to create space, take up some, and offer value propositions to people/communities/organizations that are deserving of more. What does it do to you / your sense of value when you operate in systems that didn’t consider you when they were created? When you feel like you’re begging for space and time? As an architect and designer I believe it is my responsibility to address these questions and understand how we can best create space so people can see themselves.
