Common Edge

Common Edge

Common Edge is a nonprofit organization focused on bridging the gap between architecture and design and the communities they serve. To achieve this goal, we aim to foster genuine public involvement and revisit essential design principles. Our mission centers on promoting and reporting on how public participation can enhance the planning and design of our built environment. We highlight pressing questions from emerging designers and architects, such as: How can we ensure that planning and design reflect the true desires and needs of everyday people? How can we create a more inclusive and democratic design process? How can we share the stories of the public in more impactful ways? And how do we address these challenges in the face of climate change, which is arguably the biggest issue we face today?

    In the boom-bust rollercoaster of construction, it’s clear that this year’s ride is hurtling downhill, with demand for design services (once again) waning. As architects experience the end of a post-pandemic construction boom, we’re reminded once again that “being busy” can have less to do with skill and more with availability. We’re only as good as our last performance in any climate.

    When architects talk about AI, it triggers me into a Groundhog Day–like reliving of the dire warnings against computer-aided design (CAD) in the 1980s: The field would be decimated, rendered obsolete. But just as CAD was not design, artificial intelligence is not intelligence. Some architects decry the darkness of impending technology to explain the bland buildings that are carpet-bombing our landscape. This design malaise is not due to how these buildings were drawn.

    When you design homes, those who live in them are your circumstantial intimates. And, sometimes, far more. After about 700 residential projects—some new, others recreated—many of my “clients” became people I love, and who in turn love me and my family. If we’re lucky enough to live long enough, both the clients and the designer change. There is nothing magic about aging.
