This is our starting line

I thought it was genius that the VISION program kicked off by going back to basics.  We got to examine our own inspiration for bothering to be architects at all.  And that's important, because it is so easy to get caught up in all the details of the workday and lose site of our core purpose.  The importance of keeping our inspiration at the forefront was underscored by firm leaders detailing what keeps them going through years of practice with all its challenges and triumphs - we got a snapshot of not just what they believe, but why it all matters.  Every day is a new starting line and it is by tapping into our own personal source of inspiration that we can step into our purpose as architects and change the world.
