THE ARCHITECT AS LEGISLATOR

I just received out local Las Vegas AIA publication (FOURM) for February and the cover article is from Randy Lavinge, Hon. AIA - Executive Director

Here is her first paragraph:

"What does that mean? 'The Architect as Legislator'? It means that in the fast-paced, ever-changing, cyber-uniworld we live in today, an architect cannot simply be a good designer. It means that architects can no longer afford to let someone else make decisions that define our communities and the practice of architecture. Architects must make a conscious effort to be more aware of... and more responsive to... the local, state and federal governmental agends and how they impact our communities. It means that architects need to get involved in the political process. They need to seek out and accept leadership roles in their communities, so that they can help to guide the policies and the decisions that shape our cities, our nation and our world."

Tonight I will scan in the rest of this article and post it to the 'Blackboard' for those of you that wish to read the rest of it.
