How will Architecture Adapt, Reuse Buildings for our Changing Lives?

My longest experience working with an architect was when I was hired to manage the construction of a new medical building, staff it, open it, and make it operational. I was hired when the building was a hole in the ground, but the architectural plans were set. The building design was beautiful. I memorized the three-story floor plans and was disappointed I couldn’t make the changes necessary to accommodate how people would work. Some senior corporate staff had consulted with the architects, not cooks, laundry room workers, or nurses. For example, the laundry chutes were on the far end of the hall from the downstairs laundry — unnecessary daily steps pushing a laundry cart for staff. Lounges should have had beautiful corner windows, but those windows were in small workrooms. <a href="https://medium.com/age-of-awareness/how-will-architecture-adapt-reuse-buildings-for-our-changing-lives-24c789c449cb">Visit Now</a>
