'I am an Architect' Speech by Ar. Vikas Pawar | Rethinking The Future

I am an Architect
A Rethinking The Future Initiative
Look around you. From where you live to where you meet your friends and work, every space has been deliberately designed to serve the purpose it fulfills.
We recognize a city through its architecture..
But how many people know the Designers behind these buildings?
How many of us are aware of the countless hours spent in creating the ambience that resonates with our emotions?
It is time that Architects get acknowledged for their achievements..
It is time for the community to collect and bring the change they wish to see..
It has been a long wait..
And the time to ACT is NOW.
Architecture is, at its core, a service profession. There is no Architecture if there is no client. While most of such discussions happen within a closed community of Architects, it is crucial to involve a wider audience in the conversation.
To bring the importance of Architecture to the masses, we need to go out and spread the word.
So, we invite y'all to be a part of this campaign so we all can bring a change!
How to be a part of the movement?
1.Write “I am an Architect and I … ” on A3-size placard
2.Hold the placard in your hand and click a picture in portrait mode which includes your face.
3. Post it on social media with #IamanArchitect and tag @rethinkingthefuture and and we will feature it on our page!
Example:
I am an Architect and I have bills to pay
I am an Architect and not a draughtsman
RTF requests you all to kindly share your thoughts being an architect, that you want to tell the society in general. The idea of this movement is to spread awareness about architecture that is beyond making drawings and should be given the deserved acknowledgment. We're trying to communicate the voice of the architecture fraternity to the public at large.
