In 2020, the ICAA, INTBAU, and the Prince’s Foundation collaborated on this series of high-level online talks on ‘The Architecture of Place’.

Perhaps now more than ever before, we are all aware of the built environment that surrounds us, and of the impacts it has on the health of individuals, communities, and the planet. The Architecture of Place series brings together the established and emerging voices working to create a better built future. You can find more information at intbau.org

In this first talk in the series on 19 October, 2020 Scott Merrill of Merrill, Pastor & Colgan Architects looked at local forces that influence design, such as climate, the skills of the labor force, the proximity of materials, local culture; and larger forces--regional, national, and global--that are in constant tension with local forces.

The goal of the talk is to help architects find a good balance between all these competing considerations, but it also addresses a question many of us face, which is whether we have the right--or the professional standing--to work in far-flung places that we don’t know as well as we know our own backyards.
