Do architects and architectural firms have a social responsibility beyond our practice? We all have heard
about the social consequences of architecture and about architects having a responsibility to the
community when they create a piece of architecture. But do we have a social responsibility that extends
beyond our practice?
What does social responsibility in architecture mean in our time? Certainly it means sustainable design,
however you choose to define it. The definition of social responsibility and how sustainable design is
implemented are hotly debated, but most of us would agree that two goals of sustainable design are to
eliminate or minimize negative environmental impact of the built environment and to connect people with
the natural environment.
