The Power of the Built Environment
In this Caleb Parker Show episode I sat down with Nyasha Harper-Michon , Founder of Archtivism , at Recotech Finland in Helsinki.
Nyasha is a purpose-driven architect, built environment expert, and business strategist, and inclusion and sustainability advocate who thrives at the intersection of cities, design, inclusion, sustainability, and technology.
She is a self-proclaimed archtivist, a term she coined for architecture professionals and enthusiasts driving economic, environmental, and social reform to foster positive changes in society and within the profession.
Purpose-Led Design To Shape Society
In this episode we unpack the term Archtivism, and how architects and architvists have the power to shape society through design of cities and the built environment.
Nyasha shares her insights on how to measure social impact, the significance of aligning purpose with profit, and how Diversity in design teams can lead to richer outcomes, and why Friction in collaboration can lead to better results.
Programming For Positive Impact
We go on to talk about challenging the status quo in real estate development, building for specific customer personas, how Space-as-a-Service enhances community engagement and why diversity in thought makes society wealthier.
